Blue Teams - Student Service Projects
Nature Vision offers Blue Teams, or student stewardship team opportunities through grants each year. Blue Teams are groups of kindergarden-12th grade students from a classroom, neighborhood, scout, or community group, who commit to taking on and completing a watershed stewardship project in the King County. The Blue Team program was developed to educate local youth about water resources and related ecosystems, foster sustainable stewardship values and practices in the community through hands-on youth projects, and to empower youth to take positive steps to improve their local environment.
Blue Teams receive Nature Vision’s help in planning, preparing for, and executing their projects at school or at an off-campus project site, as well as regular teacher consultations via phone or email. Teachers/Instructors may register their youth group to become a team, and Nature Vision staff will help each team to design a watershed stewardship project. Staff will visit the students multiple times to teach inquiry-based programs, giving the students the knowledge and help they will need to successfully complete and understand the value of their project.
