Anacostia High School students
Anacostia High School students delivered presentations last month at the U.S. Department of the Interior as part of an environmental justice internship.
On August 3, 11 students from Anacostia High School gave presentations on a series of environmental topics—including the “heat island” effect, green roof systems and the health of the Anacostia River—at the U.S. Department of Interior (DOI) in the culmination of the Environmental Justice Initiative Summer Internship Program. The six-week program, a Pepco-sponsored partnership between UDC’s DAWN (Developing America’s Workforce Nucleus) Initiative and DOI, provides opportunities for students to meet with leaders in their community and tour sites throughout the District as they explore environmental justice issues and possible careers.
