LEEP teaches students throughout the Lowcountry about the local environment and ecosystems through classroom lessons and outdoor excursions.
LEEP began in 1999 to address the lack of accessible, hands-on, outdoor environmental education for students in the Charleston area. We strongly believe that all young people should have access to learn about the environment by actually being in it; that the best way to learn is to do. We operate through the support of our staff members and overwhelming volunteer support, and continue to expand our involvement in the Charleston area.
Mission: Our mission is to provide environmental education to students in Charleston, Berkeley and Dorchester counties regardless of ethnic or socio-economic circumstances. Since 1999, LEEP has provided environmental education to over 19,000 students, exposing many for the first time to the rich natural heritage of the Lowcountry. Our goal is for students to develop critical thinking skills in order to become good stewards of our precious natural resources.
[06/08/18] Hello Facebook friends- I just saw there were 61 new views this week at this page. LEEP has been in hibernation mode since the spring of 2012. As I didn't set up the page, I'm not able to take it down. But, if you have suggestions for other groups that are doing similar work in Charleston or the Lowcountry, please feel free to message me and I will post their information here. Thank you!

[08/01/11] We recently provided environmental education classes with a Community in Schools program at Jane Edwards Elementary on Edisto Island. We couldn't have asked for a better group of kids - bright, enthusiastic, and engaged. Everyone had a great time.
[06/27/11] In July, Community In Schools is conducting a 4 week program serving 50 students at Jane Edwards Elementary School on Edisto Island. LEEP, along with Learning Through Loggerheads, will provide the environmental education component and the LEEP bus will be taking the students on an to Botany Bay Plantation Heritage Preserve.

The LEEP bus will be cruising the streets of Charleston this summer.
