We are training and working alongside the younger generation of stewards through our Promotores Verdes Youth Corps (YC). Through outdoor recreation, environmental literacy, cultural expression, and green workforce development, the YC equips young leaders with the skills and knowledge to drive meaningful change. We offer youth-focused activities throughout the year and summer camps that promote the health benefits of nature and the arts.
In 2025, we are re-initiating this wonderful program offering camps in Colorado and Puerto Rico. Students will receive accreditation from the nationally recognized Environmental Education Curriculum PLT, which helps develop students’ awareness, knowledge, and appreciation of the environment, builds their skills and ability to make informed decisions, and encourages them to take personal responsibility for sustaining the environment and our quality of life that depends on it.
Participants will be able to obtain over 45 different badges, such as:
Archery, Sports, Citizenship in the Nation, Fishing, Wilderness Survival, First Aid, Forestry, Astronomy, Cooking, Swimming, Canoeing and more!
Registration now open!
In partnership with Scouting America, we will host a camp at the historic Campamento Guajataca, offering campers an extraordinary opportunity to witness and understand the impact of climate change and environmental justice firsthand. It will be a unique experience that incorporates culture, arts, environmental, and recreational activities.
There will be two sessions available with a $200 savings if you register by May 30 2025!:
Colorado’s camp will emphasize the power of outdoor recreation in improving health and caring for the environment. Students will experience a variety of recreational sports, including hiking and biking, while learning about conservation through activities like trail restoration and tree planting.
With support from our funding partners and generous donors, we offer our camps at no charge to youth from under-resourced communities. Scholarships cover all program costs, including transportation to and from the camp site, lodging, meals, and activities.
Join us in empowering the next generation of environmental leaders through our Promotores Verdes Youth Corps.
