After graduating as Conservation Advocate or as Conservation Ambassadors, students are charged with completing outreach in education, service, creative arts, media engagement, and outdoor mentorship. Students are currently well on their way to completing hundreds of hours of outreach, reaching thousands of people across the Commonwealth and beyond! Here at the Academy, it is essential to demonstrate what outreach can look like. Read this week’s blog to see what our full-time staff do as outreach!
Our programs thrive thanks to the continued involvement of our alumni, who serve as youth mentors, apprentices, summer staff, and instructors. The opportunities we offer allow alumni to return to field school each year provide them with valuable leadership development and resume-building skills as they advance in their careers. It’s truly a full-circle moment to see a former student leading the classroom as staff member. Below, we highlight the various ways our alumni contributed to the Academy this summer, giving back to the next generation.
In continuing to showcase our excellent apprentices, we are highlighting one of the ways in which they used their field school training. As part of our week-long curriculums, Conservation Ambassadors learn how to be interviewed via radio, television, or podcast. This year, apprentices sat down with Multimedia Marketing Specialist Katie Mace to reflect on their leadership experiences. Please enjoy this week’s vlog from the Ursids apprentices!
