Earth Island Institute established The Brower Youth Award for
Environmental Leadership in 2000 to honor renowned environmental
advocate David Brower, who was quoted as saying “I love to see what
young people can do, before someone old tells them it’s impossible.” It
is with this spirit that we recognize the outstanding leadership efforts
of young people who are working for the protection of our shared
planet.
Each of the six recipients of the Brower Youth Awards will receive a
$3,000 cash prize, a professionally produced short film about their work
from an Emmy award winning film crew, and flight and lodging
accommodations for a week long trip to the San Francisco Bay Area.
During their stay in California, the recipients will participate in a
camping trip, leadership activities, speaking and media engagements, and
trainings and environmental conferences giving them a chance to meet
with mentors and peers. We invest in their continued success by
providing ongoing access to resources, mentors, and opportunities to
develop leadership skills. The week of activities culminates in the
awards ceremony in front of more than 900 guests in San Francisco in
October.
