These events give parents more relaxed opportunities to interact with staff and see their children's work. Additionally, staff from ecp, ukc and teen programs consult with and support parents on a regular basis throughout the year. Environmental education program (ee). One of the oldest environmental education programs in milwaukee, ee offers enrichment activities using a nh-developed curriculum with the goal of providing science-based education and direct engagement in environmental stewardship that instills a sustainable appreciation for urban and rural natural resources. This is critical because many of our youth and families have limited interaction with nature due to restricted access to safe, public green spaces, urban dangers, and lack of access to camps and other nature-based enrichment. Ee is interwoven throughout nh's other programming areas and includes our innovative lead & learn conservation corps program that offers paid internships, job readiness training and natural resources career explorations to highly qualified, urban, high school and college students. Lead & learn interns gain the skills to develop curriculum and take the lead on presenting interactive environmental education lessons and hands-on conservation projects for hundreds of low-income milwaukee youth ages 6-19.community education.
