Kelly, the environmental education specialist at Soldier Hollow Charter School in Utah, called students to action in environmental stewardship and community service while implementing her Wild Gift project – Provo River Institute. The Provo River watershed based program, which meets Utah State Core Curriculum Standards, currently serves 60 students in grades 5-8. Kelly’s personal purpose is to create place-based watershed education to foster autonomous, life-long learning through environmental stewardship. She hopes to use the Provo River Institute model to spread educational reform to other locales.
