2008 CityRoots Photo Journal now available!
UEI is excited to introduce the 2008 CityRoots Photo Journal, highlighting the hard work of over 180 dedicated community volunteers belonging to 11 neighborhood ecological restoration projects across the Boston area.
Over the course of the summer, 78 trees and close to 200 shrubs and perennials were proudly added to the Boston landscape, contributing to UEI's mission of building healthy, vibrant cities.
Congratulations to all our participants - 2008 was the most successful year in CityRoots history! See you in 2009!
UEI provides an AmeriCorps*VISTA (Volunteers in Service to America) member or a community volunteer to teachers who meet necessary eligibility requirements. VISTAs visit classrooms approximately once per week to provide in-class support via content guidance and materials support. VISTAs are typically recent college graduates with an interest in environmental education, science, environmental justice, and related fields. Priority for VISTA placement is given to teachers in the Boston Public Schools district.
