We are preparing for the November 9th and 10th, 2010 Adirondack Youth Climate Summit and will have details about registering for it shortly. The 2009 Summit gathering took place on November 9th and 10th at The Wild Center in Tupper Lake. Watch a brief video of the 2009 Adirondack Youth Climate Summit. You can also watch a short multimedia show about it or look through a photo essay of the two days. Sessions from 2009 are available on the 2009 Youth Summit Plenary Sessions and Resources page.

Target Field Trip Grants
The Target Field Trip Grants program provides funds for K-12 field trips in order to give students throughout the country the opportunity to explore more of the world outside the classroom. For the 2010-2011 school year, 5,000 grants of up to $700 each will be awarded to educators, teachers, principals, paraprofessionals, and classified staff who are employed by accredited K-12 public, private, or charter schools. Types of eligible trips include art, science, and cultural museum visits; community service and civic projects; career enrichment opportunities; and other events or activities away from the school facility. Funds may be used to cover trip-related costs such as transportation, ticket fees, food, resource materials, and supplies. Online applications must be submitted by September 30, 2010. Visit the Target website to learn more about the program.
