High School Summer Environmental Programs

Discover a career in environmental science.

At the NSLC on Environmental Science & Sustainability, you’ll develop the skills to become an eco-conscious leader and cultivate a greener future through investigation of ecosystems and resource preservation tactics.

I really, really loved it. Being here has made me much more comfortable talking about environmental science and I have more confidence as a leader as well.
