Urban Roots was developed with the vision of changing the way kids EAT and LEARN. Today we continue to work with schools, families and our community to examine the next generation’s relationship to the land, their studies, and themselves. We offer a wide array of educational programming from camps, to farm school, and garden programs for schools!
Sierra Nevada Journeys is the leading provider of experiential education in the greater Reno/Lake Tahoe area, serving both students and teachers in Nevada and California. We carry out our mission through in-school lessons, after-school programs, field-based experiences, residential outdoor school, and summer camps. Each program focuses on hands-on, inquiry-based education. We sustain those student learning experiences through professional development opportunities for educators. Sierra Nevada Journeys works with more than 6,000 students and 1,000 teachers each year.
Nevada Agriculture in the Classroom is a resource for teachers to help students develop an understanding of the food, fiber and landscaping systems and how agriculture affects their daily lives. This knowledge encourages students to function more effectively as agriculturally literate citizens, supportive of wise environmental policies and programs.
Teachers can request materials, presentations, and other resources for their students.
The Nevada Afterschool Network is here to provide outreach and advocacy for parents, children and out-of-school program providers. We want to be the best Network we can be, so we rely on your feedback and participation to make the Network achieve it’s goals. We support out-of-school-time programs to provide access to safe and quality opportunities for all school-age youth. Let us know if you want to help in any way and if we can help you achieve your out-of-school goals!
