ABOUT

GirlsConserve is a program that holds 9th -12th grade immersion camps that combine environmental leadership training, real-world experiences, and the things that most interest students. 

Students explore how their lived experiences set them up to be change-makers for the world. Topics in environmental quality, environmental justice, and the interaction between environmental health and public health are explored through on-campus programs, field trips, and collaboration with peers from other Arizona high schools. Students gain valuable professional development experiences that include working on a team, developing projects, and practicing presentation skills. 

GirlsConserve is run by ASU faculty and students from the Center for Biodiversity Outcomes (CBO) alongside student leaders from the Environmental Leadership and Communications certificate program.

Students do not need to have prior experience in environmental studies to participate in the program.

We have a strict non-discrimination policy, and all individuals are able to apply and participate in our programs and events without regard to race, sex, gender identification, sexual orientation, national origin, native language, religion, age, disability, marital status, citizenship, genetic information, pregnancy or any other characteristic protected by law.

This project is funded by the ASU Women and Philanthropy Grant.
