YIL project teams invite youth and YIL alumni to volunteer and contribute to organizing and designing programs for specific events and projects. Project teams may be annual or event-related. They bring essential contributions in various areas:

  • Event development – the team mainly focuses on youth activities around a GLF event
  • Program development & partnership – the team supports any activity that is not event-related, e.g. Youth GLF Lives, Restoration Stewards Program, and more. The team also supports outreach to key partners. 
  • Communication & outreach – the team supports the Youth Social Media Consultant in outreach activities.
