My students attend University Prep School in the City of Pittsburgh School District. This school is around 800 students 99% African American and 98% of the students are below poverty. I introduced a outdoors club this past year and had to fund raise every cent to take students rock climbing, hiking, rafting etc. During these trips I worked with conservancy groups in that area to learn about their surroundings and do a community service project, trash removal, intrusive plant removal etc. These trips have truly changed many of my students lives and has given them a new perspective, it has given them positive attitudes at school and has bring them closer together as students. Nearly all my student have never been exposed to the outdoors and have now gain a great respect and love for nature and protecting the environment.
