Project description:

Sprout Up is a national organization that promotes environmental education, especially in underrepresented or underfunded Title I classrooms. Our mission to provide environmental education involves placing volunteer college student instructors in local first, second, and third grade classrooms to teach weekly lessons that center around environmental themes such as how to be a well-informed scientist and how to act as a sustainable environmental steward. At the UC-Davis chapter of Sprout Up, we are hoping to not only increase our presence in Davis elementary schools, but also expand our outreach and operation to Woodland and surrounding areas, thus garnering more excitement for environmental causes in a larger, more diverse array of students.
