Greetings!
We invite you to sponsor the Northwest Youth Leadership Summit: Empowering Cascadia’s Future Leaders in Conservation, November 17, 2018 at The Mountaineers Center in Seattle. Please consider contributing to creating a solid path for underserved teens to become successful environmental and community leaders.
Four themes guide the Summit: Environmental & Social Justice, Leadership, Career and College Readiness, and Outdoor Recreation. Students attend for free, engaging in learning sessions, an opportunity fair, student-led discussions, and outdoor adventures. Teens connect to a network of mentors from outdoor and environmental businesses, nonprofits, and public agencies—discovering their place as future scientists, entrepreneurs, and stewards. Past NWYLS participants have become the first in their family to attend college, the Associated Student President of their school, and a Forest Service firefighter, defending our region from 2015 wildfires.
Your support will allow 150 teens from diverse backgrounds across the Pacific Northwest to communicate their convictions and demonstrate to their peers and communities how to make positive and lasting change.
Please consider the attached sponsor and in-kind donation opportunities. Respond using the attached form by September 28th. We will gladly customize a benefits package to meet your interests. Contact (360) 854-2590 or [email protected] with questions.
We will follow up shortly and appreciate your consideration.
Warm regards,
Iris Maute-GibsonGrants Coordinator | North Cascades Institute [email protected](360) 854-2590
P.S. Thank you for your commitment to community giving. Please consider sponsoring the Northwest Youth Leadership Summit, giving students the skills and motivation to achieve their aspirations. Learn more about the summit at ncascades.org/signup/youth/nwyls.
