The Council members will oversee the Fellowship Program, a by-youth, for-youth FBYC initiative that provides funding and mentorship to youth who are developing projects that address environmental challenges in their local communities. Council members will also contribute their knowledge, experience, and skills to write for our blog, increase the reach of Bow Seat’s programs, and develop new projects and initiatives of their own.
“We are so excited to welcome our 2024 Future Blue Youth Council – our new members are a diverse and talented group of young leaders who are already making a positive change in our world. These young changemakers will have the opportunity to actively mentor other youth environmental projects that Bow Seat awards grants to as well as have the opportunity to write environmental blogs and develop their own initiatives. As always our Council will be a welcoming and uplifting space of support, refuge, and friendship.”
– LINDA CABOT, FOUNDER & PRESIDENT
