Brower Youth Awards for Environmental Leadership
Earth Island Institute established the Brower Youth Awards for Environmental Leadership in 2000 to honor renowned environmental advocate David Brower, who said, “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. Youth environmental change leaders ages 13 to 22 (as of May 1, 2023) living in North America (including Mexico, Canada, and some Caribbean Islands) and U.S. territories are encouraged to apply.
