    Overview

     Join the free NextGen Forest Ambassadors program, where teens explore environmental challenges, propose solutions, and attend workshops led by conservation experts. You’ll plan and complete a stewardship project with one-on-one mentoring from land managers. Earn a $100 stipend upon finishing all activities. Transportation and gear are provided if needed.

    Learn and be inspired through peer discussion about the forest, outdoor recreation opportunities, Leave No Trace, and how to be a social media influencer for public lands. Through inspirational guest speakers and educators, a focus on diversity, equity and inclusion will permeate the experience, encouraging Ambassadors to claim their inheritance of these lands and inspire others to do the same.

    Join creative forces with a conservation professional in 1-1 mentorship pairings that span the program and stewardship project. Complete the program with a ten-hour stewardship project of your choice! Past projects have included art, music, social media, community efforts, and more. Ambassadors who complete all program commitments will receive a $100 stipend!

    All levels of experience are WELCOME - no outdoor skills or gear are required, and there’s NO COST to participate.
