NextGen Forest Ambassadors

“Last year I hadn’t ever set foot in a National Forest, and now I can say that I’m the richest landowner on earth! But not just me, it belongs to all of us!” - NextGen Participant

The NextGen Forest Ambassadors stewardship program for teens offers a youth summit where teens name obstacles to nature and actionable solutions, choose between various workshops from expert conservationists, plan and execute a stewardship project with 1-1 mentoring from land managers.  This entirely FREE program offers a $100 stipend upon successful completion of all program elements. Transportation and gear provided as needed. Watch an 8 minute video on NextGen!
