KIDS for the BAY provides vital environmental education programs to elementary schools throughout the East San Francisco Bay Area. We are currently celebrating our 32 Year Anniversary! Since 1992 we have engaged more than 100,000 school students in our programs and helped them to become Inspired Environmentalists. We have also partnered with more than 4,000 teachers to provide curricula, resources and training in delivering hands-on environmental science education. We have not only bounced back from the impacts of the global pandemic, we have sprung forward, and programs are filling faster than ever before. We are increasing our impact to inspire the next 100,000 empowered Environmentalists in the next thirty years. Visit our website to see our Stories of Impact videos.
KIDS for the BAY programs:
• Turn students on to science through exciting, hands-on lessons and activities that engage all students, including English Language Learners.
• Connect students with nature on field trips to local creeks, the San Francisco Bay, and the Pacific Ocean. On these field trips, students explore the ecology of these important habitats, which inspires them to care for the environment.
• Empower students to take environmental action in service-learning Action Projects that clean up their neighborhoods, raise awareness about environmental health and justice issues, reduce our waste stream, and restore riparian, bay shoreline, and wetland habitats.
• Create a lasting impact through our Teacher Training and School Wide Impact Models which provide teachers and schools the tools, resources, and support to continue teaching environmental science year after year.
KIDS for the BAY also provides an exciting Summer Camp in the outdoors for children ages 5 - 14 years old. Campers enjoy learning hands-on science and exploring creek, bay, ocean, forest, garden and other habitats.
