For my project I wish to foster a community outreach and education program, primarily focusing on furthering public knowledge of: 1. Local endangered species/environmental concerns 2. Making STEMS programs more common and noticeable in the community with the hope of benefitting both local wildlife and human communities simultaneously.
With my project I plan to offer an outreach and education program to kindergarten through 12th grade students in the local area informing them of issues that impact their community and environment as well as ways they can help by becoming involved. Thus enabling a generation to move itself out of poverty by working toward its own community improvement. The ultimate goal is to resolve major issues plaguing the area such as excessive pollution and general litter along with a higher than state average poverty and drop out rates.
