EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH

ENGAGING STUDENTS AND TEACHERS IN HANDS-ON EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH OPPORTUNITIES

 

Our mission at 3RF is to promote globally competitive education in the arts and sciences to rural communities. As an institution committed to promoting and fostering arts and science education, the Three Rivers Foundation (3RF) is aware of and dedicated to its role in community education and enrichment. To promote globally competitive education in the arts and sciences to rural communities, public programming is one means of fulfilling this vital aspect of the 3RF mission.

 

The Education department of the Three Rivers Foundation exists to research, develop, conduct and evaluate programs for students, teachers and the public that interpret and disseminate knowledge about astronomy and other sciences, natural history, nature conservancy and art.

 

All 3RF education programs are generously supported by the Gene Conley Foundation.
