Testimonials

"The work the students are doing is inspiring, and these programs are filling an education and outreach space that is extremely valuable, but difficult for Cities to reach in a meaningful way."
- Erik Steenblock, Environmental Project Manager 
City of Encinitas

"The SWPPP Interns are busy tackling maintenance activities, like inspecting drains, and removing debris from inlets, but they are going beyond that by testing runoff samples and designing Best Management Practices.  The SWPPP Internship Program extends our reach.”
- Dan Love, Director of Maintenance, Operations and Transportation 
San Dieguito Union High School District

"Each of the ten presentations provided clear examples of deep understanding of the issues by students, visuals of how they solved problems, samples of their actions taken to educate others and thoughtful demonstrations of their creativity! It was quality problem-based, design-thinking, real world learning at its very best!"
- Andrée Grey,  Assistant Superintendent Educational Services 
Encinitas Union School District
