[NMScience] Do you work with any amazing youth?

[Deb Thrall]

Dear Deb-

 

We're just over a month away from the deadline for this year's Brower Youth
Awards, and I'm hoping you might be able to nominate a youth you work with
for the prize.   

 

A recap: we give six young environmental leaders (ages 13-22) a $3000 cash
award and weeklong trip in October to the San Francisco Bay Area. Awardees
do media interviews, speak at local high schools and Bioneers, and are
celebrated at a public awards ceremony.  After October, we support our
honorees as environmental change agents, writers, organizers, visionaries,
and speakers.   Find out more.

Please feel free to pass on nominees to me with a short description of their
work and their best contact details.  You can also encourage youth to

May 15th.

 

You can reach out to me with any questions, and please forward this email to
anyone you think would be interested.  Also, part of my job is also to
connect students and youth with other great opportunities.  Check out our
page with ideas for grants, training, fellowships, prizes, and more
