ENVIRO sTEWARDS
A 3-day program for youth ages 14-18
|
This program is designed each year to match the interests of the participants. Throughout the program, our Enviro Stewards will help with fieldwork/environmental research, gain skills in community engagement and outreach, and learn how to plan and execute an environmental project.
There are also lots of opportunities for structured and unstructured relationship building and fun. The aim is for youth to leave the program feeling empowered about making a difference in their communities and being able to identify a local network of support and resources to assist them in doing so. We will be offering a 1-day program on Saturday, October 21 in partnership with WILD Outside. More details are coming soon! |
