Registration deadline: October 4, 2023
This concentrated multi-week program is held on six consecutive Thursday evenings from 6:00-8:00 p.m., running from October 5 to November 9. Participants are expected to attend at least four of the six sessions. There will also be optional Saturday field sessions.
Join us for CBF’s adult education program, Volunteers as Chesapeake Stewards, or VoiCeS, hosted in Washington, DC.
CBF created the VoiCeS program in 2004 as a way to reach out to local volunteers and their communities and create a deeper understanding of the Bay and the efforts to restore it. VoiCeS is CBF’s most in-depth adult education program available to its members and the public.
The course will feature different speakers each week who are experts in their field. We will learn about a variety of topics impacting the DC metro area and the greater Chesapeake Bay watershed.
Those who attend all six classes and one field experience will receive CBF’s designation as “Chesapeake Stewards.” Those interested in becoming more involved advocates will have the option to complete a final project.
The course agenda with descriptions and speakers will be added once it is finalized.
Course topics include:
- Getting to know your watershed
- Environmental Justice and urban environments
- Agriculture and the Federal Farm Bill
- Anacostia River restoration progress
- How to be an effective advocate
The event is free, but we welcome any donations to help offset the costs and help us continue our efforts.
We are excited to host an engaging course and connect like-minded folks who are excited and willing to learn from passionate experts in the Chesapeake Bay region.
