Earth Force is excited to announce our upcoming Youth Summit, scheduled for Tuesday, June 12, from 9:30 a.m. to 1:45 p.m. at George Mason University in Arlington, Virginia (view map). Arlington and Alexandria middle school students will gather at the Youth Summit to share and celebrate their environmental and civic action projects, and enjoy a day of hands-on learning!
This year's Youth Summit participants are entrants in the Caring for Our Watersheds contest, sponsored by Agrium, which asks students to answer the question, "What can you do to improve your watershed?" Finalists will make judged presentations at the Youth Summit to win up to $1,000! Find out more on the contest website. If you plan to attend, please RSVP to kmoser@earthforce.org no later than June 8, 2012.
