Richland Farms - Education Notes
In Education there is always a plan and outcome goal for every lesson. The Youth Voices Project begins with this framework, but it is meant to adapt and change. With each project, we work with students from different areas of the city with different backgrounds. We work in different facilities with varying resources. Education Notes helps to mediate between plan and reality by looking at the weekly workshops from the educator's perspective, and how the process of developing the project relates to larger social and educational issues.

We invite you to take a look at what's been going on inside and outside the walls of Environmental Charter High School.
