On Wednesday April 11, our DSISD high school interns went to Garfield Lake Park to work with students from STRIVE Prep Westwood Middle School. These students participate in a Community Adventure Program (CAP) class run at their school by Cottonwood Institute, another local nonprofit. Students in this CAP class explore local environmental issues, choose an issue to address as a class, and collaborate with other organizations to design and implement a student-directed Action Project to positively address their issue.
