2026 Youth Environmental Leadership Workshop - July

Keep Pinellas Beautiful is excited to announce our 8th annual student summer workshop series!

The Youth Environmental Leadership Program at Moccasin Lake Nature Park is designed for High School students (rising 9th thru 12th, graduation years 2027-2030) to engage students in hands-on skill-building activities that will empower them to become environmental leaders in their community. Students in these programs will gain an understanding of environmental issues, develop skills to take action and inspire others through leadership, as well as participate in hands-on activities including a litter cleanup, invasive removal, interactions with environmental professionals, and a kayaking excursion. In addition to the experience gained, these programs will serve as a great opportunity to potentially receive up to 15 community service or Bright Futures Scholarship hours.

This year, this workshop is enitrely FREE of charge! As this is the case, we expect the workshop to fill quickly. If you sign up and can no longer attend, please be kind and remove your name from the list so that others can register in your place.

* If registration is full and you would like to be added to the waitlist, please contact us at [email protected]. If you have attended one of our summer high school workshops in the past, the material this year will be similar to previous years - for this reason if you register for this workshop, we will put you on the waitlist to allow new students to attend the workshop first. *

When: July 20-25, 9:00am - 4:00pm

Where: Moccasin Lake Nature Park, 2750 Park Trail Ln, Clearwater, FL 33759
