This week’s blog was written by Alexis C., a 2020 Ursids alum. Alexis graduated from high school this past spring where she was the president of the History Honor Society, president of the Climate Club, and graduated with honors cords. While in school, she attended the Junior National Young Leaders Conference (JrNYLC) which is a premier leadership development program for students.

A key component of Conservation Ambassador Training is the community outreach that takes place after students attend a summer field school. The Academy asks youth to share their knowledge through education, service, media engagement, creative arts, and outdoor mentorship projects. Jake S., a Bass alum and passionate outdoorsman, has been making significant strides in conservation and outdoor education since his time at field school last June. His commitment to environmental stewardship and fostering a love for nature among his peers is remarkable. Let’s take a closer look at some of the initiatives Jake has undertaken since his Bass field school experience.
