Connecting to Place

Homewaters Project engages students, teachers, and community members in hands-on investigations of their home places.

Our Audience

True to our roots, Homewaters' primary audience is the teachers in the Seattle area and the students they serve. In addition, we connect the community at large to their local watershed through educational and outreach events.

More Than a Field Trip

All of Homewaters' programs are tied to the Washington State Essential Academic Learning Requirements (EALRs) and assist students in preparing for the Washington Assessment of Student Learning (WASL) exams. Our goal is to design programs and curriculum that not only connect students to their home place, but do so in a way that reduces the burden on teachers.
