Nalu is an acronym for "nature activities for learning and understanding." students will learn to identify real world environmental issues, collect and analyze data to share with science agency partners, and present solutions to the public. They will learn cultural protocols and connect to the environment through meaningful, engaging approaches with caring adult mentors helping them become environmentally responsible leaders who peer mentor their younger at-risk middle school students.
