OUTREACH & EDUCATION

For 30 years, ACAP Saint John has been a leader in environmental stewardship throughout the Greater Saint John area, conducting successful community-based environmental initiatives that have engaged thousands of citizens and organizations over the years.

ACAP Saint John staff has had the privilege of visiting schools, local markets and community events across the region to engage with students about ongoing projects being conducted at ACAP. These visits include presentation and/or hands-on activities.

The goal of this work is to increase environmental awareness and actions by engaging with our network of volunteers, recruiting new volunteers, and promoting and providing environmental education events/initiatives with the general public, students and youth, and other organizations across the city.

Through direct engagement, in-field and in-class education programs, community cleanups and outdoor activities, citizens develop a sense of understanding and ownership of their environment and are more likely to support other initiatives that promote good stewardship and sustainable development.
