West Oakland Legacy Project (WOLP) students were all smiles on Saturday’s Earth Day event at DeFermery Park where they spoke to gliding crowds on the some of the environment’s most pressing issues. WOLP students have gained much knowledge on local, national and global environmental catastrophes that has damaged the Earth’s health and with that, human and creatures alike.
Earth Day served as a wonderful opportunity for students to raise awareness on some of the issues they felt most passionate of and build confidence while doing so. The WOLP students have greatly improved in public speaking over the year and events such as these ones provide students like Enoch, pictured above, to showcase their growing skills.
