The Henry M. Jackson Youth Leadership Conference

"A Confluence of Young Leaders"

North Cascades Institute, in partnership with Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest, North Cascades National Park, Student Conservation Association and the Henry M. Jackson Foundation, hosts the annual Henry M. Jackson Youth Leadership Conference at North Cascades Institute’s Environmental Learning Center every November. The conference is open to students ages 18-22 who have participated in our youth leadership programs, including Youth Leadership Adventures, Leadership Corps, North Cascades Wild and Cascades Climate Challenge. Sixty youth participate in the conference aimed to provide tools for students to build their awareness, learning, inspiration and engagement to help equip them to take action towards conservation. The conference was created to facilitate increased engagement through repeated and new experiences, offer leadership training and workforce development opportunities.
