Thinking Outside
Our mission
We strive to promote youth stewardship of local watersheds through closely coordinated programs and activities with a variety of community partners, participating schools, agencies, organizations, cities, and counties.
“No child left inside.”
— Richard Louv
Our services
Stewardship Through Education (STE) promotes youth stewardship of local watersheds by using the watershed as a classroom. With the mantra first coined by Richard Louv, “No Child Left Inside,” STE’s program creates a bridge between local schools, youth, and community partners through strong collaborative working relationships.
Join us in our outdoor classrooms
Our educators lead three unique Watershed Awareness programs that provide students with hands-on science education in the outdoors.
