Inland Empire Waterkeeper’s River KATS program reached over 1,300 students from Title 1 schools across the Inland Empire.
During the 2023-2024 academic year, Inland Empire Waterkeeper (Waterkeeper) has successfully served over 1,300 K-12 students through its environmental education program, River KATS – Kids Activism Through Science. Through interactive lessons and field trips, Waterkeeper inspires the next generation of environmental activists in Riverside and San Bernardino County.
The River KATS program equips students with the knowledge and skills to make meaningful changes in their communities. Our dynamic curriculum is offered at no cost, ensuring that every student receives quality environmental education through hands-on learning inside and outside the classroom.
“Inland Empire Waterkeeper is committed to fostering a deep connection between young people and their local environment,” said Johanna Ramos, Program Director at Waterkeeper. “We’re grateful for thoughtful and forward-looking organizations like San Manuel who enable us to grow and strengthen our programs.”
The ongoing success of the River KATS program is made possible through donations and grants, such as the San Manuel Cares grant from the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians. With the support of our partners, Waterkeeper can continue to provide these valuable educational opportunities at no cost to students and teachers.
Fostering the next generation of water stewards is part of Waterkeeper’s commitment. For more information on Inland Empire Waterkeeper, please visit www.iewaterkeeper.org.
