C&NN strives to support and increase the leadership and diversity of young people benefiting from and contributing to meaningful connections to nature, outdoor activities, and outdoor-related careers. As part of this effort, we engage young leaders to serve on councils to assist with the planning, production and facilitation of our Nature Everywhere 2026 mission.
Youth Advisory Council meetings will begin in Winter 2026. Meetings will be held monthly. A $1,000 honorarium will be offered to council members in addition to complementary lodging and registration to our 2026 conference. Your time contribution will also be recognized in conference materials and on our website.
The Nature Everywhere Conference is the largest gathering of children and nature advocates in the world. It will be held May 12-15, 2026 in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
