They support program ideation and design, resource cultivation and maintenance, and communication between partners and across networks. In their prior work, Mo worked in informal science education as an educator, providing STEAM programming to youth of all ages, from pre-K to high school. Mo’s work as an educator has always been driven by their passion for fostering SEL-balanced and learner-centered experiences.

We are a progressive congregation in Pacific Grove, California with a youth education program called the Blue Theology Mission Station. At Blue Theology spirituality meets marine biology as we offer service learning experiences in ocean ecology and stewardship. 

Hi! My name is Meredith Hall and I am 21 years old and a senior at Lees-McRae College studing Wildlife Biology with a concentration in Wildlife Rehabilation!

Greetings from DFW!  The Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex consists of urban, suburban and rural areas in Texas.  As a Texas Master Naturalist and a Dallas ISD TAG Teacher, I set up 5th grade excursions to the Dallas ISD Environmental Education Center and order from the Living Center for my K-5 grade gifted classroom.  My goal is to combine my love of nature with teaching earth and life science.  In addition to citizen science, classroom activities implemented include Project Wild, Texas Wildlife Association and Texas Children in Nature Network.  Becoming a National Certified Environmental Educator seems right up my urban alley filled with flora and fauna.

I have been teaching environmental science at the high school level for the past 17 years.  Prior to that, I worked as an outreach educator for The Watershed Ecology Center and the SCDHEC Green Driver program.  In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and walking in the woods.
