Thanks to the Starbucks Foundation, the Island Alliance has been able to promote the Boston Harbor Islands and literacy with students from the Curriculum Program. Two guidebooks were funded by Starbucks Foundation.
The first guidebook, Adventures on the Boston Harbor Islands, was written by six South Boston High School students, was designed for teens. The funds also allowed the students to experience the islands first hand with trips to Georges, Little Brewster, and several others.
The second guidebook, not yet titled, is being drafted by more than 60 students from the Harbor Middle School, and will be geared toward elementary school students. Through these exercises they learn how the islands were once abused. Additionally, they see first-hand how the efforts of many individuals have resulted in the harbor clean-up and a National Park Area that they can enjoy now as well as generations in the future.
