Today’s high school students find themselves heading into a world filled with complicated environmental issues. Through this day-long workshop students will not only be trained in wetland ecology, but equipped with leadership tools that will help them to make a difference in their environment and community.

This program is ideal for Service Learning and Ecology Clubs, or any high school students with an interest in nature and their community. This is a fun, hands-on way for students to explore wetlands and build their confidence as a youth leader. The Wetland Youth Leadership program also fulfils the requirements for the GIrl Scout Eco-Interest Project.

The cost of the workshop includes a Wetland Youth Leadership Handbook, a complimentary t-shirt, a copy of the Wetlands 101 for Kids Powerpoint, and other supplies. Certified Wetland Youth Leaders will gain exclusive access to the online Wetland Youth Leadership forum.
