    Urban Leadership Collaborative
    North Bay Educational Partnership

Using a Urban Leadership Collaborative grant from the North American Association for Environmental Education, P3 provides safety and environmental training to formal and non-formal educators in the North Bay Community. To define and coordinate activities, P3 formed a Partnership with the North Bay Community Advisory Council. The Council provided input on the adult education component and stressed the need to work directly with children on the safety concerns and procedures associated with living near the refineries. With matching funds provided by Koch, Citgo, and the City, we were able to award $2000 mini-grants to each of the five North Bay area schools. The schools participating in the North Bay Educational Partnership are Coles, Crossley, Evans, Gibson, and Oak Park Elementary Schools. It is the goal of this Partnership to assist schools in providing this education and to continue providing environmental education activities for these children. The schools' projects include building an outdoor learning center, a butterfly observation area, a birding area, a food chain laboratory, and coastal habitats field kits.
