This project seeks to understand how NatureKids BC, a nature-based youth organization, affects its child and adult members. We asked whether and how it is achieving its program goals of fostering love and curiosity for nature. The program effects were measured using a combination of quantitative measures, and qualitative surveys and interviews. The qualitative results suggest that the impact of the NatureKids BC program impacts aligns with its organizational goals.
