The Need for Public & Private Support

The Need For Public & Private Support

While each participating student delegation is working to fund its own travel expenses, an additional $100,000 is needed to finance the International Youth Environmental Summit. This amount will pay for accommodations, meals, transportation, materials, technology needs and support services for the more than 120 student delegates and staff attending the summit.

Event organizers are seeking financial support from corporations and foundations, as well as government, service and education organizations.
