Led by researchers, educators, staff and volunteers on site at the Cowichan Estuary Nature Center, this twelve-week leadership development program will allow learners aged 14-18 to explore various STEM career paths right here in the Cowichan Watershed. Each week, we’ll learn about someone who works in the watershed, and what conservation really looks like in their day to day lives. We’ll get out in the bay, doing hands-on restoration work on ongoing CENC and partner projects. Additionally, students will learn and practice real-life skills, such as grant-writing, social media marketing, and networking. The Fall term will wrap with a group celebration and networking event.
