Environmental Leadership Program
Environmental Leadership Program
The Environmental Leadership Program (ELP) is a community-based learning program through the Environmental Studies program at the University of Oregon. The program fosters community engagement by matching student-led teams to an abundance of non-profit organizations, government programs, and more to address the crucial environmental issues present in our community. This program provides undergraduate and graduate students with the necessary skills to develop professionalism, leadership, and more. Spring 2025 holds 6 separate projects, including Aves Compartidas, Wild Wanders, Climate Science Team, Oregon Ash, Wild Life & Parks, and Restoration & Research.
Aves Compartidas
Aves Compartidas
In collaboration with Ecology in Classrooms & Outdoors (ECO), El Camino del Río/River Road Elementary School, and Mt. Pisgah Arboretum, our team of ten designed and implemented activities centered on migratory birds. Partnering with a watershed community in Guanajuato, Mexico, we focused on the shared migratory species that connect our regions. Throughout the project, we emphasized bilingual instruction in both English and Spanish to support language development and cultural connection. Using frameworks developed by the Learning in Places Collaborative, we created cultural, community-based, and outdoor learning experiences that fostered positive socio-ecological relationships. Over the spring term, our team facilitated five weeks of classroom lessons and led three field trips – one each for the third, fourth, and fifth grades.
