The Jr. Watershed Stewards Club of Annapolis High School played a critical role in providing instructional and program support. They volunteered on Mondays and Thursdays. They assisted LaCreshia with serving the snacks, providing homework assistance and implementing environmental literacy curriculum activities. The Jr. Watershed Stewards were able to accrue community service hours, as they provided invaluable and dedicated assistance. LEAP and the Jr. Watershed Stewards Club are both outreach programs of Our Creeks & Conservancy. Rev. Johnny R. Calhoun is the Executive Director and Pastor of Mount Olive AME Church.
