A Project for the Planet – Service Learning in your community

Students from four different schools in three different locations learn about local environmental issues and commit to making a difference in their community, and for their planet. Service Learning is much more than community service, it can influence the student’s life in a substantial way, and maybe even change the world. High School students dive and collect data on an artificial reef to learn how to promote and protect corals, 4th graders help native Apple Snails and restore native trees in the wetlands of Florida’s amazing Everglades… and in New York, students are finding solutions to help repopulate ancient oyster beds and clean up the waterways around Manhattan. Amazing projects… for the Planet!
