Earth Island Institute Brower Youth Awards 2022 ($3,000 prize)

The Brower Youth Awards 2022 are now accepting applications.

Brower Youth Awards

The Brower Youth Awards for Environmental Leadership were founded by the Earth Island Institute in 2000 to commemorate prominent environmental campaigner David Brower, who remarked, “I love to see what young people can achieve before someone old tells them it’s impossible.” They acknowledge the extraordinary leadership efforts of young people fighting for the conservation of our shared planet in this spirit.

Award

Each of the six Brower Youth Award winners will receive a $3,000 cash award, an Emmy Award-winning film crew’s professionally produced short film on their work, plus airfare and housing accommodations for a weeklong trip to the San Francisco Bay Area.

The honorees will participate in leadership activities and courses on coaching, visioning, public speaking, and creating media relations while in California. The awards presentation concludes the week of festivities. By giving continuous access to resources, mentors, and chances to build leadership skills, the Brower Youth Awards program invests in the recipients’ sustained success.
