Student Leadership

For more than 25 years, the National Wildlife Federation has been working with students on projects that create greener, wildlife-friendly campuses and communities.

The National Wildlife Federation EcoLeaders Initiative provides hands-on project experience that enable students in high school and higher education to make a meaningful impact on today's biggest environmental challenges, while also helping them practice and build leadership skills that set them apart from their peers.

Conference participants will discover information on the latest EcoCareer trends from leading analysts and employers, clarifying career enhancing credentials and academic offerings, and formulating a better understanding of the competencies employers seek in the green sector.
