From Evaluation Toolkit
Comment on this resource
This article discusses the need for environmental education (EE) among diverse (i.e non-white, non-hispanic) urban youth. Major points include the large proportion of these youths who live in urban settings far removed from nature, and three factors that converge to make EE for this group a priority. These are: 1) the greatest opportunities to understand about the environment exist at elementary levels; 2) increasing urbanization and diversification create a large group who will soon vote; and 3) diverse populations are underrepresented in environmental education programs.
