Trainers
SC Adopt-a-Stream Trainers
The SC Adopt-a-Stream program continues to grow and reach members of the public across the state thanks to our dedicated volunteer Trainers! Trainers come from a range of backgrounds including higher education, Clemson Extension, SC DHEC, nonprofit organizations, and more. They bring expertise, passion, and energy to their workshops and are a vital part of the continued success of the program! We welcome new Trainers annually at our certification gatherings in January and February. If you’re interested in joining the Trainer team, we would love to hear from you! Find more information and fill out the interest form at the link below.
