Youth in Action

A class from Academy of Art University joined us for winter planting in the Green Hairstreak Corridor.

San Francisco State University students monitor butterfly habitats in the Green Hairstreak Corridor.

Youth are welcome to join nature walks like this event with Enterprise for Youth.

Youth in Action seeks to immerse San Francisco young people in nature. We want to help them build connections with community leaders and empower a sense of belonging.

What is Youth in Action?

It's all about sharing nature and joy with teens and young adults. Our goal is to bring nature into your life, teach you about native habitats, and make volunteering and joining nature walks fun and easy.

Why is Youth in Action important?

Finding outdoor community opportunities for teens and young adults can be tough with concerns about safety, feeling like newcomers, and not knowing where to start. Nature in the City is perfect for us—their team adores wildlife and makes nature a blast for everyone. We aim to build a passionate youth community by nurturing influential leaders who continue to empower their communities and connect with nature long after their time with us.
