Youth Council: undergraduate and graduate students
Investing in future conservation leaders to create a better world
Wild Tiger's Youth Council is a 9-month leadership mentor program for undergraduate and graduate students in the United States. The Youth Council aims to instill skills to build conservation leadership and provide a support network for continued growth.
Students participate in monthly workshops with established professionals via an online video. We introduce and explore skills not generally taught in the classroom yet essential in robust environmental leaders. Skills development in the program includes campaign and event planning, policy, educational program development, creativity, networking, and entrepreneurship. Youth Council culminates when the students carryout an outreach event their own communities, individually or as a group, implementing the skills we have been discussing through the program. |
