Do you know a 13 - 22 year old who wants to make the world a better place? Earth Island Institute would like to know about them too.
Every year Earth Island Institute’s New Leaders Initiative recognizes the leadership efforts of six young environmental activists from North America, ages 13 to 22, who are working for the protection of our shared planet. Earth Island Institute established The Brower Youth Award for Environmental Leadership in 2000 to honor renowned environmental advocate David Brower.
Youth environmentalists are encouraged to apply. The applications are open and the deadline for submission is May 16, 2016.
Each of the six recipients of the Brower Youth Awards will receive a $3,000 cash prize, a professionally produced short film about their work from an Emmy award winning film crew, and flight and lodging accommodations for a week long trip to the San Francisco Bay Area.
If you are or know of a young adult who should apply, hurry and get your applications in. Thanks to Earth Island for inspiring us all to be of service to our community and our planet.
