Youth Water Leaders Team
The Youth Water Leadership Program is student-driven, meaning that students have a voice in all decision-making and program content. The Youth Water Leaders Team consists of high school students, college students, teachers, intern(s), Wild Rose Education staff, and community members. The Team comes together multiple times prior to the Summit to develop leadership skills, dive deep into local water and river issues, help with Summit planning and logistics, and prepare to emcee the Summit greeting participants and introducing speakers. Only for 2020/21 high school students who have participated in a previous Healthy Rivers Youth Water Summit. Application due May 6. Now a hybrid virtual group structured like a club/class. |
