Come grab a drink or two at this month's Green Drinks happy hour. Brent Lyles, Executive Director at Austin Youth River Watch, will talk with us about the history of AYRW as well as the latest news from the organization.

Austin Youth River Watch is a multi-year, after-school and summer program for high school students, combining peer mentoring with intensive environmental education. The students collect, analyze, and publish water-quality data from Austin-area streams and rivers and report their data to local and statewide agencies. Guided by a volunteer Board of community leaders, the mission of Austin Youth River Watch is to advance personal and academic achievement through environmental monitoring, education, and adventure.
