EcoSkills!
EcoSkills are one-day, monthly programs designed to introduce and reinforce EcoProgram skills for former and current ITE teen participants as well as teens 12-18 who are interested in developing new skills. EcoSkills are meant to be educational, hands-on and fun while furthering the ITE mission of connecting teens with their community through experiences in nature.
Unless specified, all EcoSkills begin and conclude at the Prescott College Tucson Center. Participants are responsible for their own nutritious, no-waste lunch.
