Club Description: The Leadership in Environmental Education Partnership (LEEP) provides college students with the exciting opportunity to teach elementary school children from diverse backgrounds about ecology and environmental concerns in our community. Developed in partnership with educators from the Pomona and Claremont Unified School Districts, LEEP provides hands on lessons in environmental awareness and appreciation, ecological diversity, habitat restoration and pollution prevention. By engaging children in the understanding and appreciation of their local environment, LEEP fosters values of citizenship and socialresponsibility. In working closely with college students and faculty, the children also gain exposure to positive role models and mentors. Meeting Time & Place: TBD Club Leader(s):
