Wildlife Leadership Academy Application Deadline Extended To April 15
|
|
The Wildlife Leadership Academy has extended their application deadline for youth and adult mentors to April 15. The Wildlife Leadership Academy is a wildlife-focused leadership program that equips youth ages 14-17 with the necessary skills to become ambassadors for conservation in their home communities.
Major topics covered during each five day field school include: wildlife biology, habitat management, research and monitoring techniques, nature photography and journaling and community outreach and education.
In addition to intensive field experiences in wildlife biology, this program enables youth to develop important leadership skills, such as public speaking, critical thinking, and team work. After the field school, youth are mentored throughout the year as they participate in at least three public outreach and/or service activities in wildlife and habitat conservation.
The Wildlife Leadership Academy brings the biological expertise of Pennsylvania Audubon, Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, Pennsylvania Game Commission, Pennsylvania Quality Deer Management Association, Pennsylvania State University, Ruffed Grouse Society, the US Army Corps of Engineers and more directly to high school students.
