Our take

The Impact Program's service-learning structure, in which students complete an actual water-related project in their community rather than only attending a presentation, extends the learning beyond a single visit. Everything is free and age-customized. The presentations and field trips are built for Bexar County classrooms, and the specific activities on offer vary by grade and by year.
