Stories
Alex and Anna are helping mentor elementary students in SEEDS EcoSchool, the same program they attended as elementary students. Both seniors at Kalkaska High School, they worked with SEEDS EcoSchool this past summer as summer camp staff and found their time with the younger students very rewarding.
Kids need a place where they can belong, where they can be themselves, learn about the world around them, and grow healthy relationships with their peers and mentors. SEEDS EcoSchool is that place for hundreds of students across Northern Michigan.
“I would say that my time in SEEDS made me more successful in high school and helped make me the way I am today.”
