MISSION

The Youth Ed-Venture & Nature Network is a strategic partnership of individuals, organizations and agencies dedicated to increase awareness and engagement of the young people of the Capital District of Albany New York and our Nation, with the common interest in conserving our natural environment, expanding the number and quality of opportunities for children, youth, young adults and families to reconnect with nature and the environment.

CORE VALUES

  2. RISK - We foster the virtues of positive, calculated risk taking.

  3. ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP - We honor and protect the earth.

  4. RELATIONSHIPS - We nurture a culture of learning through relationships.

  5. EDUCATION - We will continue to explore, research and pursue knowledge about the environment, enabling us to inform and educate others.

GOALS

  • Use the natural environment as a means of linking people of diverse backgrounds, cultures and beliefs.
