Building Bridges to the Outdoors

Our Partners: Crenshaw High School Eco Club

Against the backdrop of concrete streets and bitter gang violence, the Crenshaw High School Eco Club reconnects South Los Angeles youth with the outdoors. Bill Vanderberg, Crenshaw's Dean and Eco Club Advisor, believes in the power of this connection to inspire and empower. On a recent trip, he challenged his students to put aside longstanding athletic and gang rivalries. BBTO California is proud to partner with the Eco Club.
