Wisconsin students interested in the outdoors are invited to join the Youth Conservation Congress.
This statewide youth program is designed to grow and develop future conservation leaders across the state. The Youth Conservation Congress (YCC) is a student extension of the Wisconsin Conservation Congress. The purpose of YCC is to give young people a voice and instill a sense of ownership, civic pride, and advocacy for Wisconsin’s natural resources.
The YCC strives to effectively engage, educate, and involve youth in the management and protection of our natural resources and foster a conservation ethic through participation in the program. The YCC program offers opportunities for students from all backgrounds, including seasoned outdoor enthusiasts and novices alike. Although the program is best suited for high school students, younger individuals are welcome to apply.
