Austin Youth River Watch is thrilled to launch our 2024 Spring Break Eco-Adventure fundraiser campaign! This 5-day trip offers a new and exciting opportunity for our high school students, the River Watchers, to participate in our biggest and most anticipated adventure of the year!

For many of our students, this will be their first time taking part on a road trip out-of-state giving them the opportunity to experience firsthand a different ecosystem, scenery, and ecology. But most importantly, it will help them create positive experiences in nature, build community, and learn about important cultural and historical moments, all while having fun! Help us create an unforgettable experience and inspire the next generation of environmental leaders.
