Educational programming is guided and supported by a committee that meets periodically throughout the school year to discuss the status of projects, suggest improvements, and consider new initiatives. The committee consists of Friends of the Rouge staff, members of the Friends of the Rouge Board of Directors, current and former Rouge Education Project teachers, and other community members that have an affiliation and interest in our educational programs. If you are interested in learning more or joining this committee, please email Erin.
