Environmental Rangers Seeking Youth for Weekend Eco-Science & Exploration Program
April 21, 2018 ~ St. Thomas, Virgin Islands
The Environmental Rangers, an Environmental Protection Agency Environmental Quality Award-winning youth group, has expanded its scope to add STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics) approaches to youth engagement with the wild.
The Eco-youth group’s STEM initiative is called SEER (Science, Education, Exploration & Research) to give focus to the program’s environmental heritage goals.
SEER will re-introduce youth to nature in a way that is fun, dynamic, educational and motivational.
It is important to us that SEERs themselves decide what they want to learn in the Eco-system so that we can provide them personalized knowledge and experience. To do this SEERs will be introduced to a wide array of environmental pursuits. They will join with other Eco-youth in action teams and assist each other in achieving set Eco-goals.
SEER interactions will occur in a wilderness setting with small group-sizes supervised by experienced and qualified environmental award-winners and leaders.
