Are you wondering how to support the youth you work with as they grow into the environmental leaders of tomorrow? Whether you work in the classroom, with a scout troop or with your own children, this workshop can help you open up new pathways for young green leaders.
Explore local environmental education resources at the field station and beyond. Get certified in nationally recognized environmental education curriculum such as Project WET, Project WILD and Project Learning Tree.
