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.
