GREEN LEADERSHIP FOR STUDENTS

Green Schools Alliance Event

Green Schools Alliance Event

National Student Climate and Conservation Congress in Shepherdstown, West Virginia this week.

I was pleased to learn that The Green Schools Alliance is holding a National Student Climate and Conservation Congress in Shepherdstown, West Virginia this week. The event was developed in conjunction with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s National Conservation Training Center (NCTC).

100 outstanding GSA Student Fellows and 10 Faculty Fellows, selected from over 24 states, convene to participate in a national environmental leadership conference. One outcome will be a student toolkit, the foundation for a national student climate & conservation service initiative. The goal is to have schools sign up as GSA Chapter Members, so that the more fellows can be nominated. This is real grassroots change to educate and train the next generation of environmental leaders. Check out the speakers at the conference:
