Chicago River Schools Network

Through the CRSN, Friends of the Chicago River

helps teachers use the Chicago River as a context forc learning andr a settings for service.n

By connecting the curriculum and students to a natural resource right in their backyard, learning

takes on new relevance and students discover that their actions can make a difference. We support

teachers by offering teacher workshops, one-on-one consultations, and equipment for loan, lessons

and assistance on field trips. Through our Adopt A River School program, schools can choose to

adopt a site along the Chicago River. They become part of a network of schools working together

Making Connections

to monitor and improve the river.
