The mission of Colorado River Alliance is to educate today’s youth to become tomorrow’s leaders, ensuring a legacy of a healthy river, sustainable use of water resources, and communities dedicated to protection and conservation.
Audiences: Students and schools – Grades 3 thru Middle School; Home schools; Boy and Girl Scouts.
Wilkerson Center for Colorado River Education Field Trip Program: Field Trips to the Wilkerson Center for Colorado River Education provide elementary-school students in 3rd-5th grade with information to inspire them to be future River Stewards. This is experience emphasizes the importance of protecting the Texas economic and environmental lifeblood – the Texas Colorado River.
Mobile River Program: The Mobile River is a traveling water science center that brings the river directly to the schools of 7th graders in the Texas Colorado River. Launched in 2015 in partnership with the Austin Independent School District and Austin Water, the hands-on exhibit is designed to connect students to their water source and teach them the importance of planning for the future.
Volunteer Opportunities: Lake Travis Cleanup – The annual Lake Travis Cleanup is the largest shoreline and underwater cleanup in Texas. Each September, hundreds of volunteers of all ages come together to help remove thousands of pounds of trash and debris from the River. In addition to the Lake Travis Cleanup, Colorado River Alliance hosts a Spring Cleanup in Eastern Travis County parks and hosts ongoing creek and paddleboard lake cleanups throughout the year.
