Event Details

Crafting Your Voice: Advocacy & Leadership for the Watershed
Open to rising 11th & 12th graders OR experienced CBF Student Leaders in DC, MD, VA, PA.

Join students from across the Chesapeake Bay watershed in our nation’s capital and discover the impact federal legislation has on supporting state goals outlined in the 2014 Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement. We’ll learn how advocacy at the federal level impacts both urban and rural communities, as well as the vital role that collective student voice can have in making change. This one-of-a-kind expedition will equip students to become the next generation of environmental leaders and advocates, ready to address problems in their communities and support on-going work at the federal level. Students will acquire new skills, a deeper knowledge, and appreciation for saving the Bay and its tributaries.

Lenth & Location: This is a multi-day, overnight (tent camping and dormitory-style housing), in-person event. Registered participants will meet CBF educators regionally (MD, VA, PA) and spend five consecutive days exploring and investigating the Washington DC metropolitan area. All transportation, lodging, and meals will be provided during the expedition. Participation will be determined on a first come, first served basis.
