Monroe Student Heads-Up Can Drive for International Service Project

Local Jockey Hollow STEM Academy 7th grader, Connor Rownin, will be traveling throughout Europe in the Summer of 2015 through the People to People Student Ambassador Program. While in Germany, he will participate in a service project planting new trees in the Black Forest and clearing the riverbanks along the Danube River, areas recently hard-hit by mass logging and cyclones.

This past summer I had the amazing opportunity to travel to Australia as a Student Ambassador. One of the most memorable experiences was interacting with Australian students and planting trees outside the Capricorn Caves in Queensland. I look forward to giving back through service in Germany next summer, said Rownin.

Dubbed “Cans for Connor,” this local environmental service project is a collection effort that will help Connor ”pay his way” to Europe. Come meet and talk with Connor every Friday at the Monroe Farmers Market now through October 24th and learn how becoming a Student Ambassador is helping him change the world.
