While the direct environment impact of their projects is evident, the most extraordinary aspect of our programs is the development of innovative, confident, and passionate environmental advocates. While each student is actively working on immediate solutions, they are also provided the training, mentorship, and inspiration to become tomorrows environmental leaders.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
