AWLN Youth Summer Program

Inspired by the nature of our community, ECO-Action’s youth summer program is an opportunity for our youth to get a hands-on learning experience in various areas like environmental health, sustainability, leadership, finances, and nutrition.  This program offers a unique opportunity to dive deep into the roots of what makes our environment so unique and how many ways we can improve the areas around us by making simple and small changes. Let us nurture your nature by joining our program.  Our summer program runs from June 3 – July 13, 2024, offering paid opportunities from $15/hr. for Youth Interns and $25/hr. for Program Coordinators positions. Weekly journaling, presentations with guest speakers, workshops, activities, and an end of program celebration will be offered.

Please email Femi Adeyemo, AWLN Youth Program Manager, at O.Adeyemo@eco-act.org if you have any questions.
