Nextgen Forest Ambassadors 2025

The NextGen Forest Ambassadors (NGFA) program offers outdoor skills, leadership, stewardship, and connection. Get to know land management agencies and nonprofits who work together for public lands, be a voice for public lands in a youth summit where we will name obstacles, solutions, and begin designing ambassador-led stewardship projects. Learn and be inspired through peer discussion about the forest, outdoor recreation opportunities, Leave No Trace, and how to be a social media influencer for public lands. Through inspirational guest speakers and educators, a focus on diversity, equity and inclusion will permeate the experience, encouraging Ambassadors to claim their inheritance of these lands and inspire others to do the same. Join creative forces with a conservation professional in 1-1 mentorship pairings that span the program and stewardship project. Complete the program with a ten-hour stewardship project of your choice! Past projects have included art, music, social media, community efforts, and more. Ambassadors who complete all program commitments will receive a $100 stipend! All levels of experience are WELCOME – no outdoor skills or gear are required, and theres NO COST to participate.
