Community Action Projects
Students spend a trimester working in small groups to address an issue in the community. Past project partners and issues have included:
- Yurok Tribal fisheries department: What efforts are the Yurok Tribe undertaking to preserve and protect the Yurok Tribe's fisheries resource?
- Klamath River Watershed Restoration: How can young people get involved in the Klamath River Watershed restoration efforts? Students created and taught a watershed basketball game; designed promotional bumperstickers and posters and spread the word at local elementary schools.
- Yurok language preservation: KRECR students have created billboards, tee-shirts, murals and books, all promoting Yurok language usage.
- Honoring our local heroes: Students conducted oral histories and took portraits of their local heroes, which can be seen in the Yurok Tribal headquarters in Klamath.
- Community organic gardening
- Teen Center: Partnering with Boys and Girls Club, KRECR students organized a series of healthy and safe teen activities in Klamath, based on data collected in a survey.
