In the Montague Day program, Sussex County, NJ children participate in weekday adventures that teach science, foster a love for outdoor recreation, and develop life skills. At PLG Day program, Brooklyn children connect to both urban and rural environments from Brooklyn to New Jersey and develop life skills.
• Futures in Food: Through year-round programing, teens and young adults connect with the land to learn where food comes from, develop culinary skills, obtain marketable experience through internships, and develop the ability to translate this experience into a career of their choice.
• Under One Sky (UOS): UOS’ year-round programs expand youth’s concept of “environment” to include our urban environments and translates that knowledge into practical meaning for their city lives, including improving their communities. UOS programs are: Leadership Team (for teens), In-School Curriculum (at Benjamin N. Cardozo High School in Queens and High School for Leadership and Community Service in Brooklyn), and After-School (at three schools in Brooklyn).
