Who We Are
Missouri Stream Team Watershed Coalition (doing business as Stream Teams United) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit that supports the Stream Team Program and advances the protection and improvement of Missouri’s waterways. We do this through education, advocacy, and stewardship efforts. Some of our work includes providing grants and scholarships to Stream Team volunteers, developing statewide educational watershed programs, encouraging citizen engagement by distributing alerts about issues affecting water resources, and publishing comprehensive reports of Stream Team Volunteer Water Quality Monitoring data — the first effort in the program to do so.
Stream Teams United is made up of representatives from Stream Team Associations throughout the state. Associations are groups of Stream Teams within watersheds who work together. As a 501(c)3 nonprofit, the Stream Teams United can write and receive grants used to support projects submitted by Stream Team Associations.
