School is right around the corner! Contact our outreach team today to participate in this great opportunity for high school students.

High School Teachers and Club Sponsors this one is for you ♻

We are now accepting club sign-ups to participate in our Environmental Coalition for the 26-27 school year. Any type of club is welcome to participate.

Environmental Coalition provides volunteer opportunities educating our community about how to recycle and reduce waste effectively during community events, at home, and at school. Coalition participants are invited to participate in a field trip to our local recycling facility and gas to energy plant. We also have a special Environmental Coalition cord for graduating seniors who complete a certain amount of volunteer hours for our cause.
