Solar Youth Citywide Stewards walking on the New Haven Green for YouthWalk 
July 28, 2006 – CSP Day 15Taylor’s Day
YouthWalk is an event coordinated by the Citywide Youth Coalition and sponsored by the Regional Water Authority, Hot 93.7, News Channel 8 (UPN 9), Empower New Haven, New Alliance Bank, ConnCAN and the City of New Haven. The event is for youth to raise money for their individual organizations, as well as raise public awareness about the need for youth programming in the city. Here’s Taylor’s Day:
We went YouthWalk on the Green. We played games; we played Cat and Mouse and the game where you can’t touch the bottle with your hands. I saw many people from my school and my cousins and stuff like that. I saw the people from 93.7, Miss Yo, and I got her to sign my poster. I got donated ten dollars. Overall we made $250 dollars for the camping trip. We walked around and we ate lunch and we saw people dancing. We saw the Boys and Girls Club dancing and Newhallville Summer Camp. My favorite part of the day was when Crystale [another camper] was up there dancing.

- We are an environmental education and youth development non-profit in New Haven, CT. We engage urban youth in their local environment using our unique program model: Kids Explore! (where youth learn about their local ecology and ecosystems) Kids Do! (where youth identify an environmental problem and utilize youth-led action to solve the issue) Kids Teach! (where youth educate others about what they have learned an accomplished). Our curriculum uses hands-on experiential lessons, games, songs and a dedicated staff to teach environmental concepts, build teamwork skills and empower youth. We run several programs, including our afterschool Steward Teams, in-school Hands-on Outdoor Learning Adventure, and our summer Citywide Steward camp. We also facilitate a Youth Advisory Group (YAG), where dedicated participants take leadership in the organization, including running their own programs and sitting on the Board of Directors. Our high school interns work in youth-adult partnership to run all our out of school programs, learning critical skills for future careers and personal growth. Join us as we share our many adventures and accomplishments with you.
