Young Leadership Programs

Young Environmental Leaders Program Kangaroo Island

The Young Environmental Leaders (YEL) program offers students the chance to explore their local environment while building leadership skills within their school community.

Through their involvement in the YEL program, students enhance abilities such as public speaking and develop a stronger connection to and appreciation for the environment. This program is free and available to students in Year 5.

The Kangaroo Island Landscape Board extends its gratitude to the Murraylands and Riverland Landscape Board for generously sharing resources and enabling the adaptation of the Young Environmental Leaders Program for Kangaroo Island.

Youth Environment Council of South Australia

The Kangaroo Island Landscape Board together with Kangaroo Island Community Education sponsor student representatives traveling to the South Australian mainland to participate in the Youth Environment Council (YEC) of South Australia. This long-standing annual program, organised by Green Adelaide, offers students the chance to connect with peers and enhance their skills for fostering a sustainable future. Participants engage in sustainability-focused learning, share innovative ideas, attend camps and regular forums, and receive guidance to initiate their own projects within their school or local community.
