This week’s Outreach Highlight features Lana, a passionate Conservation Ambassador who took a creative and community-centered approach to sharing what she learned through the Wildlife Leadership Academy. Lana’s outreach was rooted in her desire to educate others, whether standing in front of a group or simply exploring nature with loved ones. She used every opportunity to connect with others in her community.
We are continually inspired by the passion of our students as they take action in their communities. This week, we are thrilled to highlight the outstanding outreach efforts of Samantha, a Brookies field school alum, who has gone above and beyond in her community engagement.
As the year draws to a close, we’re taking a moment to reflect on the many milestones and accomplishments of 2024. It has been an incredible year of growth for the Wildlife Leadership Academy, and we are excited to share the highlights with you!
This week’s blog was written by Graham, a Bass alum. Graham has been very active since attending field school this summer. He has started an Environmental Service Club (ESC) at his school, attended the HopeCAT leadership program, and is participating in WLA’s Pay It Forward student-driven fundraising campaign.
Introducing our new series: In Their Own Words! We’re excited to share stories directly from our incredible alumni, highlighting their personal journeys with the Wildlife Leadership Academy. This week we are featuring Grace, a 2022 Bucktails alum. Watch the video below to hear Grace share her experiences with the Academy.
