Hello Friends,

Applications are now being accepted for Environmental Heroes 2020--2021. This authentic, after school field research program is designed for middle and high school students (minimum age 12) interested in environmental science. Environmental Heroes collect water quality data throughout the Doan Brook watershed and monitor wildlife habitats. Heroes also engage in environmental advocacy activities beyond the required weekly sessions. All Heroes earn hours toward Presidential Volunteer Service Awards as citizen scientists.

Interested students must complete an application and be interviewed for selection to be determined. A two year commitment is required to participate in two weeks of summer training (July 21 - 31, weekdays) and weekly after school sessions year round (Wednesdays, 4:30p.m.-6:30p.m. beginning September 9th, 2020 at Gelfand STEM Center-Case Western Reserve University). A flyer is attached. Because the application file is huge, it cannot be attached here. The application is available at: gelfand.case.edu A hard copy of the application will be mailed via US mail as requested.

Should you have any questions, please contact: Kathryn Kwiatkowski, 216-368-5075 or [email protected] Feel free to share this message with anyone you believe interested. Thank you.
