The Floating Classroom Young Scholars Program
In 2024, we hosted over 1,000 students in our Floating Classroom Program at Green Lane Reservoir. Of these 1,000 students, only about half paid to participate in the program. The remainder of the students were provided for through grants, scholarships and donations. However, this year, all of our funding specifically designated to host underserved populations was cut – meaning we have a very large funding gap to fill if we want to provide opportunities for all students.
At the Conservancy, we feel that the Floating Classroom Program provides such a transformative experience that we want all students to have the opportunity to participate regardless of their socio-economic status. That’s why, this summer, we’re launching our “Sponsor a Kid Campaign” – with the goal to raise the amount needed to host those 500 at-risk students in our program. That amounts to $15,000 or a very reasonable $25 per student. If you have the means to do so, please consider sponsoring one (or more) of our future leaders.
