The AWE Conservation Leadership Program (CLP) is a multi-week after school program for high school students that combines environmental awareness, local actions to protect our natural habitat and wildlife, and advocacy. The program provides students a solid understanding how community conservation policy evolves and an enriching experience in how teams can make a tangible difference. 

Students have the rare opportunity to explore their local ecosystem through a unique experiential and comprehensive learning model that is delivered by outstanding experts in the field.

Students desiring to pursue conservation as a career choice are equipped to explore continuing environmental educational and career pathways.
