The manuals will be published by the summer of 2000, and EEI now has three partners committed to piloting the training manuals this summer. Partners will read and comment on a draft of the manual, and then will each organize two Learn About Forests programs. Eagle Eye is excited about the manuals and the impact they will have on young people nationwide. Back to Top Anthony Sanchez Named Eureka Fellow for Year 2000 EEI Director, Anthony Sanchez, has been named a Eureka fellow for 2000. Eureka fellows commit to spending 200 hours over a two-year period in a learning community with peers improving their skills.
Fellows meet on a monthly basis and travel nationally to study practices of related organizations.
Eureka's mission is to improve the lives of children, youth and families by developing the capacity of nonprofit organizations that serve them and by developing the skills of the individuals who lead these organizations. The Rainbow Stewards will play a significant role in helping to conduct a comprehensive tree inventory of Somerville, caring for trees while at the same time learning marketable skills highly sought after by environmental and governmental employers. A core group of Rainbow Stewards now participate on a regular basis. As well, a flower planting and school beautifying day at the Winter Hill community school took place on April 12, 2000. Fifth grade teachers Rita Houghton and Kenly Brozman are excited to work with EEI on the project.
