Introduction and Potential Partnerships

[Tom Martin]

I'm the president of a national non-profit that gives young people the civic
skills to make lasting improvements to the environment in their communities.
We have a number of programs that let youth find their own voices -- and
express them effectively -- in school and afterschool settings.  Our
programs combine service learning, environmental and civic education and are
aimed at ages 10-15.  Check out our website at www.earthforce.org.

We work to deliver these programs through other partenrs -- usually schools
or youth serving organizations, by offering training, materials and support.
We are launching two new programs Earth Force Afterschool and Earth Force
Afterschool for Watershed Action next fall (after their field test).  They
are specailly designed to meet the needs of 21st Century or other high
quality aftershool programs.  We are looking for partner non-profits who
would be interested in taking the lead in their communities with these
programs. If you are interested in talking further about a partnership in
your area please send me an e-mail.

Thanks.
