One Watershed, One World
Inspiring the next generation of environmental leaders
Mark your calendars—the annual St. Croix Youth Summit will take place virtually on Earth Day, Thursday, April 22, 2021!
This dynamic conference is for middle and high school students who want to learn about the environmental issues and challenges facing the St. Croix River watershed and take action to make a difference.
Registration is OPEN
Register by April 9 for the chance to win an Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) Kit for your classroom!
There are two ways to register your class:
Option One: Teachers can register as one attendee, and the whole class can tune in together through your classroom projection system.
Option Two: Students can register individually, tuning in on their own devices.
Please Note: Each registrant will need to create a Hopin account with their email and chosen password. Students that register individually and tune in on their own device will have greater flexibility and control over choosing different workshop sessions from their peers.
