Earth Connection is sponsored in part by Massachusetts 4-H Youth & Family Development

What is Earth Connection?

The Earth Connection starts with a simple yet powerful idea: Young people can be resources for environmental problem-solving in their communities.

When youth and adults work together on environmental issues, the result can be an improved environment for the whole community, as well as increased knowledge, skill, vision, energy, and commitment on the part of all participants, young and old.

The conference is a place where young people and their advisors can:

MEET other concerned and active citizens
LEARN skills to address issues that affect schools and communities
SHARE ideas, strategies, and questions
EXPLORE environmental resources at UMass Amherst
ENERGIZE their own action projects

The Earth Connection conference has been sponsored since 1996 by UMass Extension and its 4-H Youth & Family Development Program.
