“River Keepers” After-school Program
Audubon Arizona, with generous funding from REI and JP Morgan Chase Bank, is pleased to offer an exciting hands-on nature experience on the banks of the Salt River called “River Keepers”. We provide this program free of charge to students at South Phoenix after-school care facilities such as the Boys and Girls Club and Valley Christian Center.
Students aged 8-12 learn about various topics including birds, native plants, water quality and conservation over the four-week program period. Sessions are offered in both spring and fall. Pre-service teachers are invited to apply for internship positions, please note that preference will be given to South Phoenix residents.
For more information, please contact Emily Morris at Emorris@audubon.org.
