Environmental and Climate Justice
Summer Program

HCJM with Rice's Center for Environmental Studies is co-hosting a free week-long summer program for HISD students that will take place at Rice University, where accommodations and food will all be provided. This overnight summer program will be from June 17th, 2024, to June 21st, 2024 on Rice’s campus and is completely free to students.
