Annually, through partnerships with the Falls of the Ohio State Park and Bellarmine University, the Falls of the Ohio Foundation supports professional development workshops that provide teachers with opportunities to learn about geology and the natural environment. These free workshops are made possible by the contributions of the Sam Shine Foundation and Irving Materials, Inc.

Spaces for these workshops are limited and applicants will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Learn more below!
