Conservation Leadership Corps

Missouri’s Conservation Leadership Corps (CLC) inspires the next generation of environmental stewards. Each year, high school and college students across the state participate in hands-on projects that teach leadership, teamwork, and real-world conservation skills.

The program includes:

• A fall workshop focused on conservation education and skill-building,

• Collecting wildflower seeds to restore native habitats,

• Stream clean-ups to protect Missouri’s waterways,

• Meetings with natural resource professionals to learn about careers and conservation policy,

• And opportunities to draft and submit resolutions at the Conservation Federation of Missouri’s annual convention.

Through these activities, students learn the value of protecting our natural resources while gaining leadership experience that will last a lifetime. They see the connection between their actions and the health of Missouri’s forests, streams, and wildlife.

Your support helps expand the reach of CLC. Every $100 empowers a student to attend workshops, participate in service projects, and gain hands-on leadership experience in conservation. By donating, you are investing in the next generation of Missouri conservation leaders — youth who will grow up to protect our land, water, and wildlife for everyone.

Join us in building future leaders today, one student at a time. Your contribution helps Missouri teens turn curiosity into action, passion into skills, and leadership into a lifetime of conservation impact.
