Every living thing in life people, plants, and animals depends on water to grow, stay healthy, and survive. Clean water keeps our bodies strong, helps grow the food we eat, and protects our environment. Without it, life as we know it wouldn’t exist. Because we rely so much on water we have to protect our water because water is limited there is not a unlimited supply.

Join students as they explore our watersheds. Learn about Chautauqua Lake and Lake Erie and stay tuned for how students solve our watershed problems.  

Our Ultimate Goal is to inspire and empower the next generation of Changemakers! Students who use science, creativity, and teamwork to protect our waters, care for our community and take action for a better world.

This work is now part of a collaboration with NYSAWWA’s One Water Workforce (OWW) initiative, which is designed to build sustainable pathways into water careers while inspiring young people to see the value of water in everyday life. By partnering with OWW, CHQ Kids Care is helping connect youth directly to water issues in creative, meaningful ways.
