Water Quality Detectives After School Program

The California Water Boards developed the Water Quality Detectives After School Program specifically for after school programs throughout the state. This program, based on the Water Quality Service Learning Program, uses the same hands-on approach in an outdoor setting to teach students about water quality, and appeals to a wide range of ages for the after school setting.
