Programs: Austin youth river watch is a multi-year, after-school and summer program serving 120 high school students, combining peer mentorship with intensive environmental education. Students collect, analyze and publish water quality data from 25 austin-area streams and rivers and report this data to local and statewide agencies.
the service learning program allows students and community volunteers to participate in hands-on water quality improvement projects. The program engages and empowers river watchers by offering ten week-long projects that enhance the ecological and hydrological functioning of land near the streams in which they perform water testing.
