OUR ENVIRONMENT

Environmental stewardship refers to responsible use and protection of the natural environment through conservation and sustainable practices. Actions that reduce waste, clean up waterways, and provide for biological diversity are all examples of environmental stewardship.

The youth in STEAM ONWARD's YRCP after-school program are engaged in community projects that helps to transform the environments of schools, churches, and other community sites.

Our garden projects utilize STEM learning experiences which are important factors in stimulating and sustaining interest in science and mathematics.

Gardens also serve as laboratories that provide youth opportunities to explore environmental issues, law and government policy, as well as youth businesses and entrepreneurship.
