Conservation Leadership Corps

Application Deadline: April 30th

The Conservation Federation of Missouri (CFM) has long been a catalyst for engaging citizens in conserving Missouri’s natural resources. With the growth of urban areas and increased population, it is essential that the strong conservation heritage of Missourians be passed on from generation to generation. To achieve this goal, the CFM sponsors a special multi-year program. The Conservation Leadership Corps (CLC) offers high school and college students a unique opportunity to influence conservation policy and actions. Who is eligible? Students who are high school sophomores through college sophomores when they apply. Our hope is that students have the opportunity to have at least 2 years in the program.
