Sharks: not the monsters of the deep, but the protectors of balance in our oceans. Did you know that the resurgence of white sharks in the Northeast US is a conservation victory? Healthy shark populations = healthier seas. Protect what you love.

Whom does climate change impact the most? What can you do about it? After a little Climate 101, we explored these and other hard-hitting questions to hone in on the injustice and identify some impactful actions.

Social Justice Retreat was an opportunity for middle school students to engage in conversations about identity + privilege in relation to social justice topics. The day consists of workshops on topics like sea level rise, food insecurity, fast fashion and climate change and how they intersect with our identities with a goal to heighten awareness and take action in our local communities. During the workshops, facilitators supported the students to work together, share stories, acknowledge differences, and find commonalities-- with the aim to build a deeper, more inclusive + committed community.

Huge thanks to HarborArts family and crew member for facilitating this awesome workshop!!
