The East African Youth Environmental Leadership Program is designed to create an exciting nexus between our existing Youth Leadership Program and environmental, cultural, and economic equity. We partner with Leach Botanical Garden, Metro Parks and Nature, Zenger Farms, Camp Elso, BluePrint Foundation, and more to show our students how important it is to understand, connect with, and raise awareness for the environment and environmental issues. One of the most important aspects the students take away from the program is how to become engaged in real world issues that transcend classroom walls.
