You can volunteer with us?
Are you concerned about water conservation and do you enjoy art? We seek a volunteer as we have received two small grants to allow us to do an innovative water conservation program combined with a youth artwork project. Briefly, this project is an environmental education effort that also involves bringing art into the classroom. Our Rain Catchers program includes collecting rainwater from rooftops, storing the water, and using the stored water in the dry season for irrigation. We have installed several Rain Catchers systems at Sonoma County schools and wish to return to one of the schools to expand knowledge about water conservation through development of an illustrated early reader book. We also thought that the water conservation education lesson would be enhanced if the students themselves illustrated the early reader book—it provides us with the dual purpose of encouraging art in the classroom and developing a literary/art project targeting 3rd or 4th grade level students. We hope that the students will have a creative experience as they interpret water conservation concepts through their drawings. Their color depictions of the meaning of the simple words of the book will enhance their learning experience.
