NCSU EnvironMentors Chapter 2007 Award Winners

EnvironMentors is an environment-based mentoring program aimed at preparing high school students for college programs and careers in science and environmental professions. The program is a collaborative effort of volunteer science and environmental professionals, aspiring high school students, science teachers, school administrators, government agencies, community organizations, foundations and businesses who generously support our work.

The program started in Washington DC, with NC State being the first pilot program as the program grows.

Hands-On, Inquiry Based Approach to Learning - EnvironMentors matches dedicated environmental professionals as mentors to high schools students. Working together, students and mentors develop experimental research projects on locally relevant environmental topics over the course of the school year. Students participate in college prep courses, paid internships, and other environmental enrichment activities as part of the program.
