Making a Difference

"It is very enriching to know that you have made a difference in the life of a child or young person. For me, the most rewarding experience working with CLEAN Education comes from presenting at low-income schools in Orange County and Los Angeles. We know that cuts to education have hit low-income schools in California especially hard, and science education is suffering. Through CLEAN Education, we are able to go into these classrooms and communicate important environmental and scientific issues with students.
