Mission Statement
KIDS for the BAY (KftB) collaborates with teachers to inspire environmental consciousness in children and cultivate a love of learning.
Description
We are committed to multicultural environmental education and to restoring a healthy environment for all communities. Our programs empower elementary school students to take action to help solve environmental problems in their neighborhoods. We also provide much-needed professional development in environmental science to classroom teachers through our unique Teacher Training Model and School Wide Impact Approach. KftB works in primarily low-income, urban schools throughout Alameda and Contra Costa Counties. We also deliver programs for community groups and run an exciting Summer Camp for children ages 5 - 12 years.
