Donations fund stipends for youth activists to take part in the Michigan League of Conservation Voters Our Water Activist program focuses on community organizing for our environment and democracy

• The program offers training, mentoring, field experience, internship opportunities, and the chance to funnel students’ energy and passion into effective civic engagement, particularly around issues of water safety and affordability
• Participants complete 22 distinct workshops on community organizing methods, best practices, and key environmental issues
• Our Water Activists learn through the program the importance of safeguarding water for both human health and the environment and take a deeper dive into the science of some topics, such as how contaminants can move through groundwater and the impacts of well-drilling, the dangers of lead to developing children, and the host of medical problems associated with PFAS, those toxic “forever chemicals” that have already impacted so many here in Michigan
