Description: Since 1998, Sandoway has offered a vibrant gateway to South Florida’s fragile marine life and freshwater environments for children, families, regional, national, and international visitors. Recognizing the limited access to and deep need for Palm Beach County’s children to understand crucial S.T.E.M (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) concepts, and be able to relate them in a meaningful way to the natural world around them, we developed our hands-on, activity-based programs in environmental education for grades K-12. Our environmental education programs are compatible with Next Generation Sunshine State Science Standards, and Palm Beach County Schools have approved our Junior Naturalist Program curriculum. We are focusing where our hands-on educational support is needed most, on Palm Beach County’s Title One Schools, programs that serve children who are at-risk of academic failure, and those from low socio-economic and minority populations.
Are there volunteer opportunities?
