The 2016 ALASKA FORUM on the ENVIRONMENT, to be held on February 8 – 12 in Anchorage, is seeking PRESENTATIONS that TARGET HIGH SCHOOL or COLLEGE-AGE YOUTH, or ADULTS WHO ARE INTERESTED in RESOURCES and INSPIRATION to HELP IMPROVE THEIR COMMUNITY ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRAMS by INCLUDING YOUTH. We also welcome presentations that provide tips for working with youth, an overview of trainings and educational resources available, or other existing programs that can help adults interested in starting or improving their own youth–led community environmental programs. Presentations focused on training programs or educational experiences that target high school and college-age students also fit this track. Presentation lengths can vary from 20 to 60 minutes. Submission deadline: October 15. For more information or to submit a proposal, contact Laurel Devaney at Laurel_Devaney@fws.gov.
