Youth Leadership in the North Cascades

Youth Leadership in the North Cascades Youth Leadership Adventures are for motivated high school students who are ready for a fun and challenging summer adventure in the North Cascades!

North Cascades Institute's Youth Leadership Adventures features a range of summer opportunities for high school-aged students on local public lands. During 8 and 12-day summer expeditions, students canoe, camp, backpack and complete service projects in the North Cascades backcountry - including Ross, Diablo and Baker Lakes - while receiving hands-on training in outdoor leadership, field science, c

ommunication skills and public speaking. This partnership program with North Cascades National Park and Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest connects youth to wild places while instilling a sense of responsibility and ownership so they can make a difference in their home communities. Participants will make new friends, gain confidence and leadership skills, enhance their resume and college applications, earn community service hours, and explore the North Cascades wilderness, all while having the best summer of their life! Applications for summer 2018 will open in February.
