What is Service Learning?

The Coalition for the Upper South Platte’s (CUSP) Service Learning Program combines quantifiable learning objectives with service projects that address environmental needs and concerns. This program has been developed for elementary, middle and high school teachers and students. Programs are designed to meet Colorado State Standards with a focus on 21st Century Learning Skills.

The Service Learning Program offers a diverse selection of grade appropriate lessons and projects with themes ranging from forest health and wild fire rehabilitation to wildlife and water. CUSP’s programs provide youth with site-based, hands-on, experiential educational opportunities while providing meaningful service to their community.

CUSP is a 501(c) (3) charitable nonprofit that is dedicated to protect the water quality and ecologic health of the Upper South Platte Watershed through the cooperative efforts of watershed stakeholders, with emphasis on community values and economic sustainability.
