Young Conservationist Scholarship Program
The Young Conservationist Scholarship Program was a program that highlighted the drive of passionate young environmentalists. Participating youth (grade 11 and below) were given the resources and knowledge to make an impact in their communities while competing for a scholarship. Youth were chosen to join us for a conservation seminar and learn how to facilitate their own conservation projects.
The Young Conservationist Scholarship Program has officially concluded and will not be continuing. We still want to encourage conservation-minded youth to create positive change within their communities and work to protect our environment.
