Celebrating Stories of Young Conservation Leaders

During National Park Week, the National Park Service Youth Programs Division, The Corps Network, and the National Park Foundation co-hosted the virtual event, "Celebrating Stories of Young Conservation Leaders: Advancing Sustainability and Environmental Justice in Parks and Communities."

In celebration of our national parks and Earth Month, speakers and panelists shared their park stories related to the service and conservation corps movement. Attendees learned what it's like to serve in a corps and how corps programs offer diverse young people opportunities to explore their identities while making our parks more resilient, beautiful, safe, and inclusive.
