Conservancy Youth Programs

The Conservancy's Youth Leadership Program and summer Youth Green Team help address the need for continuing restoration and maintenance in the Emerald Necklace Park System as well as prepare participants in this program for real-life work experiences. Through the Youth Leadership Program and Youth Green Team, the Conservancy provides a foundational work experience for young people interested in pursuing careers involving land stewardship, landscape architecture and design, horticulture, and environmental studies.
