The Alliance for the Great Lakes is dedicated to fostering an ethic of learning, appreciation and care for the Great Lakes. The Alliance offers two educational programs - Great Lakes in My World, a newly developed educator resource for kindergarten through eighth-grade that addresses Great Lakes state learning standards, and Adopt-A-BeachÔ, a service learning and citizen science program tailored to all ages. Great Lakes in My World
The Alliance's newly developed Great Lakes in My World educational resource is designed to promote understanding of the Great Lakes among our children, as it is imperative that they learn about the value of protecting this large, yet fragile web of life. The curriculum's 80-activity educational kit is tailored for students in kindergarten through eighth grade. The Great Lakes in My World kit also includes 60 full-color Great Lakes Creatures information cards and an accompanying disc with supplemental materials and resources.

The Alliance's Adopt-A-BeachÔ program is a service learning, citizen science program that enables volunteers to create positive change at their favorite beach by collecting water quality and litter data and entering it into our on-line data base.
