Colorado Preserve America Youth Summit

The Colorado Preserve America Youth Summit is a unique award-winning program that provides Colorado middle and high school students and their teachers interactive, goal-focused, results-oriented experiences that foster their knowledge of our nation’s diverse cultural heritage, gain knowledge about the complexity of balancing sustainable use and historic preservation and cultivate life-long stewards of historic places.

During the Summit, students are treated as consultants and provided opportunities to engage in developing decisions and having their voices heard. Youth Summit Alums have gained valuable experience, receive community service hours and also have gained leverage for college applications--including two alums recently being awarded Boettcher Scholarships for their efforts with the Youth Summit. Open flyer with all the details here.

This summer we will be going to Rocky Mountain National Park-with a special assignment to develop ideas and themes for the Park's upcoming 100th anniversary.

We certainly would welcome applications from your students! Contact me with questions at 303 475-9403 or savingplaces@aol.com. Thanks! Ann Alexander Pritzlaff, Preservation and Policy Consulting

(Students as Voices for Environmental Sustainability) Summit

Please share with Students and Groups who may be interested!

The Colorado SAVES (Students as Voices for Environmental Sustainability) aims to bring high school students from across the state together to educate, share, and inspire environmental stewardship.  The summit will take place on May 4-5, 2012 at Ponderosa high School in Parker, Colorado.  

The conference is the creation of students in the PeaceJam Club at Ponderosa High School.  The students recognized a need for a state-wide conference that would allow youth the opportunity to come together to strategize, share ideas, and create action plans addressing sustainability.

In order to keep the conference low-cost and help more students to attend the students have arranged for an overnight in the high school. 

Please see the attached flyer or visit https://sites.google.com/site/coloradosaves/ for more information.
