CITYWIDE
STEWARD PROGRAM
During the summer, members of the
after-school Neighborhood Steward Teams and new youth join together
for five weeks. Following our program model, youth learned about
and explored the city ecosystem (Kids Explore!), identified and
addressed problems by doing C-SAP’s - community service action
projects (Kids Do!) and taught what they learned and accomplished
to others (Kids Teach!).

DO!
"C-SAP stands for Community Service
Action Project. The
first thing we do is explore the community to identify problems.
Next we choose a problem and research the problem. Then we
brainstorm solutions and choose a solution. After, we develop
an action plan then we take action. After that we evaluate,
which means see how we did.”

“Do Not Dump! Drains into Long Island Sound” |
One
of the C-SAP’s we did was at Criscuolo Park, near
the Quinnipiac River. [We] dug in the dirt and moved heavy
rocks to get a coat from the ground. We didn’t stop
until we got it out... We also found chip bags, styrophome,
and a lot of fishing line. After we went looking for crabs.
The parks was clean and we felt good.”

KIDS TEACH
Guerilla Theatre
The group decided they wanted to TEACH
others about the effect of litter on the environment and our
community. They wrote a skit which was performed at noon on
the downtown New Haven Green. They also canvased the Green
to have people sign an Anti-Litter Pledge. |

"This summer was full
of
adventure. We did things like hiking, clean-up our community,
and just for fun trips. One of the things I won’t forget
was our trip to Six Flags New England. It was fun with the
rides that we got to pick ourselves. Half of the day it rained
really hard. But I knew all about the rain and the cycle it
goes through. We wrote a little song about it, using words
like evaporation (when water vapor rises into the sky), condensation
(when clouds aremade),precipitation (rain, sleet, snow and
hail), run-off (when the water flows along the surface of
the ground)and infiltration (when water soaks into the ground).”
