Wild Voices for Kids

Wild Voices for Kids Spring Program Launch! Earth Day - Monday, April 22 CBEEN Growing Wild on Earth Day! After succeeding in reaching its $25,000.00 fundraising target, CBEEN is excited to announce it is launching it's Wild Voices for Kids program on April 22 - Earth Day!  CBEEN would like to recognize all of the funders that came on board, including major donors Canadian Pacific and the Regional District of East Kootenay. CBEEN currently offers 133 different programs by 79 community educators.  Field trips include snowshoeing, avalanche safety training, pond explorations and opportunities to see Kokanee Salmon spawning.  In-class presentations cover a wide range of natural and cultural heritage topics.  Last year over 10,000 students took part in 441 presentations and field trips across the 6 school districts in the Columbia Basin.   So far this year 4,700 students have been able to take part. To book your WVFK presentation click here! After two major federal funding sources dried up in 2012, CBEEN has been looking for more local and regional support for its popular programs.   CBEEN has the goal of being able to offer at least one presentation to every student in the Columbia Basin region every year (~20,000 students in total!).  CBEEN will continue its fundraising efforts to allow it to continue to expand the number of programs it offers. On average it only costs $10/student for CBEEN to offer a Wild Voices for Kids program.  CBEEN is hosting two wine & cheese events in the East Kootenay this Spring to offer prospective funders the opportunity to have an up close and personal look at CBEEN.  For more information please contact Whittick at 250-341-6141 orinfo@cbeen.org.  CBEEN has also just been listed as a registered charity, and charitable donations can be made at www.cbeen.org.
