After participating in an Urban Stewardship Project youth will feel an overwhelming sense of pride in themselves, their work and their communities. Youth will desire to be involved in more hands-on, outdoor service projects. Youth will have an awareness and knowledge of local conservation measures and feel empowered to make a difference. Youth will develop skills in teamwork and physical labor. Youth and instructors will form relationships that lead to internships at instructors’ affiliated environmental organizations. Some youth will be inspired to be environmental leaders. Volunteer instructors will be encouraged to work with diverse populations again.
