Delivery Method Options

In-Person

Keep Norfolk Beautiful can visit schools, camps, organizations, and other education groups to offer this program to your students. We require at least one week of notice and a supervising adult must be present at all times during the program. We believe that learning happens best in smaller groups. Because of this, we serve a maximum of 15 students at a time. We are happy to accommodate larger groups by giving the presentation multiple times to smaller groups of 15 or less students. 

All presentations are free.
