La Academia de Defensores
La Academia de Defensores is a paid adult training program that builds the capacity of participants around watershed-related issues through workshops, hands-on activities, and participant-led capstone projects.
So far, Clase Alpha and Clase Beta have successfully completed their training. We're excited to continue training community leaders and encourage you to fill out our interest form below.
