This isn’t your average environmental clean-up; this is a Green Boats environmental clean-up! Join the Youth Action Institute and Living Classrooms to clean up trash from the Anacostia River straight from our kayaks. This project is eligible for 2 SSL hours.

Living Classrooms strengthens communities through inspiring people of all ages to achieve their potential through hands-on education, workforce development, health and wellness, and community safety programs. They have environmental education campuses that preserve and showcase urban green spaces and serve as outdoor learning laboratories; a public charter middle school; and a fleet of ships including active floating classrooms and stationary historic museum vessels that offer activities in STEM, ecology, and cultural and maritime heritage – actual living classrooms!

This project is open to teens ages 11-18, and participants will earn 2 SSL hours. Please make sure to wear clothing you don't mind getting dirty and bring a filled water bottle, a hat, and sunblock. If you have any questions, please reach out to Lyssa at ajellenik@edcjcc.org.
