After graduating from the Academy’s summer field school, students return to their community to engage, educate and inspire others about conservation. The confidence, leadership, and communication skills students gain at the Academy set the stage for success as they fulfill their commitment as Conservation Advocates and Ambassadors.
WHAT IS OUTREACH
Outreach is categorized as actions taken by Conservation Advocates and Ambassadors after attending Wildlife Leadership Academy programming. Any project conducted by an Academy Alum that furthers their own knowledge or the knowledge of others, involves themselves or others in nature and/or the outdoors, or enhances a general awareness of conservation is considered an outreach project.
OBJECTIVES OF OUTREACH
The goal of outreach is for participants to gain and share conservation knowledge and to learn and enhance personal leadership skills, building their career and support network along the way. Participants take what they already know, combine it with what they learned at the Academy, and apply it through projects in their community!
WHAT COUNTS AS OUTREACH
Any project or instance where a participant goes above and beyond their normal, everyday activities with the intent of conserving natural resources or being a leader in their community can count as outreach.
OUTREACH REWARDS
Completing the post field school outreach requirements can qualify students for college scholarships, Youth Mentor and Apprentice positions, and other opportunities.
