Youth Delegates, FWS

I could probably spend a long time reflecting on the entire week I spent, but instead I’ll just give some thoughts on one of the better highlights from the youth delegate group.

I think I speak for the whole group when I say how cool it was to have him take 45 minutes out of his hectic schedule to answer some of our questions and listen to some of our ideas (and this was just one of the many great experiences the Youth Engagement Team set up for us. Thank you guys!).

I don’t know about any of the other “youth” out there and members of the “next generation,” but I’m starting to feel some pressure. After such an inspiring few days, full of amazing speakers and panelists, it is hard for me to walk away from this without wondering what my role will end up being in assisting the Refuge System make this Vision Document come to fruition. Although I’m only two summers into my journey with refuges, I consider my 20 year-old-self a youth who has already been recruited and introduced to wildlife refuges. So now I pause, think, and realize I have my work cut out for me.
