The Brower Youth Awards just launched the 2009 prize search for
outstanding youth leaders.  We're looking for individuals ages 13-22
with the power and persistence to create environmental change.  
 
The Brower Youth Awards honors six young people annually with a $3000
cash award and weeklong trip to the San Francisco Bay Area.  During that
week, award recipients will participate in a week of media and public
outreach and be recognized at an awards ceremony attended by 900 members
of the public.
 
Our honorees have protected Native sacred sites from development,
restored wetlands, spread awareness about threatened sea turtles,
coordinated student networks pushing for a clean energy future, and
much, much more. Their impact doesn't stop there. They continue as
environmental change agents, writers, organizers, visionaries, and
speakers, supported by Earth Island Institute's New Leaders Initiative.
Past winners have gone on to speak at Bioneers -- like Erica Fernandez
2007, launch their own groups -- like Rachel Barge 2007, and become
Ashoka Fellows -- like Billy Parish 2004.  Join them.  Apply today for
the 2009 Brower Youth Award at http://www.broweryouthawards.org.
Applications for the 2009 awards are due May 15.
