Problem

Some of our most motivated environmental leaders are middle and high school students from underfunded public schools and low-income communities. The Green Schools Alliance, in partnership with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service National Conservation Training Center (NCTC), provides training once a year to 100 students from around the country at the Student Climate and Conservation Congress (SC3) to support their efforts to combat climate change and create a sustainable world.

The Gift

This gift will sponsor a young environmental activist of modest means to attend an unforgettable week-long training at the nation's premier environmental training facility. It will provide them the skills, knowledge, and tools necessary to become global leaders in their own communities. The cost to underwrite a student is $500 for the 5-day program including meals and lodging at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service National Conservation Training Center (NCTC).
