Investments in Youth awarded 5 scholarships of $195 each to local youth to attend Nature’s classroom, a weeklong class held in beautiful Silver Bay, New York that provides a unique experience in environmental education. The students spend the time living and learning together and develop a strong sense of community, a confidence in themselves, and an appreciation for others that carries over into their school community.

The mission and design of Nature’s Classroom fits perfectly with the overriding theme of Investments in Youth that Character Counts…Everywhere…All of the Time.
