Hello!
My name is Ava Izdepski, and I am
the new AmeriCorps member serving at Cascadia Conservation District.
I am originally from Edmonds. I went
to college at the University of San Diego, where I was an Environmental Studies
major. During my time in San Diego, I was a volunteer with the Ocean Discovery
Institute. While volunteering, I was given the chance to help teach
environmental education lessons to students in elementary schools. I recently
moved back to Washington to be closer to family. I am looking forward to continuing to teach
environmental education with Cascadia, as well as participate in and bring
value to the other programs the district implements.
Since starting my term of service, I
have had the opportunity to demonstrate our Enviroscape model at the Chelan
County Fair, work at the Rolling Rivers display during Salmon Festival in
Leavenworth, and complete Wheat Week training in Quincy. I am very excited to
continue to learn and grow throughout this year of service. I look forward to
taking advantage of all the opportunities this area has to offer!
Thank you for viewing the blog and
be sure to stay in touch with questions and/or comments throughout the year. I
am looking forward to using the blog to encourage conversation about a variety
of topics.
