Rain Garden Apprenticeship Program

Students and teachers in Raleigh are participating in a pilot program that enhances environmental literacy and creates more community Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI).

Program Overview

Raleigh Stormwater is partnering with Urban Sustainability Solutions to offer paid rain garden apprenticeships for high school students and teachers that will expand their professional and academic development, environmental knowledge, and engineering skills.

The six-week afterschool rain garden apprenticeship program will introduce students to GSI through a state-wide science standards aligned curriculum, real-world case studies of GSI design, engagement in community outreach, and exploration of nature-based solutions to environmental issues. Students and teachers will also install or maintain a rain garden or cistern through the Raleigh Rainwater Rewards Program.
