Students chosen for Wyo Youth Congress

Natrona County School District eighth-graders Ryan Jueneman (CY Junior High) and Leslee Christopherson (Dean Morgan Junior High) have been selected to attend the first Wyoming Youth Congress on Children & Nature, according to a media release.

In June, letters were sent to Wyoming superintendents and principals asking them to select one eighth-grade girl and one eighth-grade boy to be represented at the event, which will be held at Teton Science Schools in Jackson Hole this week. Students representing all 48 Wyoming school districts will convene in a structured setting to voice opinions, share visions and identify new ideas related to their connection to the outdoors. These youth leaders will be empowered to affect change across the state of Wyoming by inspiring other youth, parents, teachers and decision-makers to take action.

Participants in the Wyoming Youth Congress will create action plans to implement innovative projects in their home communities focused on connecting kids to nature.
