River Relief awarded EPA Environmental Education Grant
Two-year grant will boost organization capacity to teach and connect people to the Missouri River
On Nov. 10, 2015, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced that 35 organizations nationwide had been awarded more than 3.3 million dollars to support environmental education and action across the country. Out of 400 applicants nationwide, Missouri River Relief was selected as one of five supported projects in our four-state Region 7 (MO, IA, KS, NE).
The grant, called "Building Capacity for Missouri River Education" supports three main projects -
- Building a network of River Action Teams along the lower Missouri River and supporting Missouri River Action and education projects with a series of grants to organizations along the river;
- Conducting a teacher workshop entitled “Missouri River: A Catalyst for Learning”
- Hosting an on-the-river summer camp for youth called “Missouri River Academy”
