Christodora supports New York City youth with access to a range of opportunities (e.g. ecology lessons, summer camp sessions, and field trips). Their Community of Rising Environmentalists (CORE) program provides small-scale learning opportunities for middle and high school students. Christodora staff has identified three key challenges: short-term planning, repetitive content, and staff development. In response, the organization plans to address these issues and improve their programming by hiring a part-time Science Education Specialist to design a long-term cycling curriculum for CORE, support CORE’s Saturday sessions, and encourage professional development for other staff.
With this grant, Christodora will hire a part-time Science Education Specialist to design a long-term curriculum.
