For a few reasons. First off, we believe that when you build a connection with a place, when you love and appreciate it, you’re more likely to protect it. By taking students and families into the heart of our watershed, we hope they’ll rebuild a lost connection with the water that fuels our daily lives. In cultivating a local community of water guardians, we advance our mission to ensure a water-secure future for all and forever. Secondly, we understand that not everyone can serve abroad, but we don’t think that should stop you from finding your drop. These local service experiences will open the door to purpose for so many more youth.
