In the spring nicole gervacio of We Rise joined Mycelium Youth Network at Pear Tree Community School as they were finishing their 6 week program entitled ‘Science for Survival’ where youth learned water catchment, water purification, created emergency bags, made tinctures and salves, went on a medicinal first aid walk, and conducted a mini-home assessment of needs.
Mycelium Youth Network educates young people on building eco-sustainable communities while maintaining personal and environmental health in the face of climate change. Drawing from local indigenous traditions as well as visionary imaginings, our Science Technology Engineering Arts and Math (or STEAM) based curriculum offers customizable short-term workshops and long-term trainings that teach youth strategies to address ecological degradation, as well as techniques that will enhance their ability to respond to environmental emergencies efficiently and effectively.
