My Project

Our Middle School Scholars are traveling to Yellowstone National Park for the first time. This will be their first time exploring the outdoors that is not in their backyard. The students plan to go in the springtime, when the weather is unpredictable in the mountains. The students will need jackets for outdoor exploration and hiking activities.

We are asking you to join us on this mission to share our nation's beauty and environmental field education with our Cleveland youth scholars.

With this donation the students will have comfy, cozy jackets that they can use for the next few years.
