Student projects will help to solve a problem in their own communities dealing with our mission (paper drives, trash pic-ups, water conservation projects, land conservation projects, agricultural projects etc.),

•Integrate academic enrichment components and/or activities within their projects (With the help of Alamo RCD and other Sponsors) in Science, Math, Art, Environmental Science, Agriculture, and Technology, as they also practice leadership, public speaking and presentation skills and social responsibility.

•Have adult supervisors at a ratio of at least one for every five youth involved.

•Become a member of Alamo RCD Youth 4 - Earth FIRST with an annual membership fee (whole families can join also) and encourage others to do the same.

•Complete an Alamo RCD "project proposal" that provides information on the proposed project, mission, objectives, activities, budget, impact etc. (ie a mini grant proposal) to receive Alamo RCDs support and provide intermittent progress reports online (via email or text) of project progress. The student must also complete a final project report on impact and success of their project and attend an Awards Ceremony (like our current Harvest Celebrations) for recognition on their successful project.
