African People & Wildlife recognizes the power and possibility of youth as champions of nature.
We engage, inspire, and elevate the voices of young people while building their conservation knowledge, skills, and experience. By realizing the full potential of youth today, we can ensure that Africa’s wild places will survive and thrive for generations to come.
How We Support Youth Leadership and Inclusion
Provide Environmental Scholarships
Many of Tanzania’s rural youth lack the means to receive an education beyond primary school. We support high-performing graduates of our wildlife clubs to achieve their dreams through competitive secondary school and university environmental scholarships.
Inspire a Conservation Ethic in Tomorrow’s Leaders
Today’s youth will determine the future of Africa’s wildlife and wildlands. We nurture the connections between young people and nature through hands-on and classroom learning that inspires responsible conservation choices and behaviors.
Increase Youth Leadership and Involvement in Conservation Programs
Through a strong foundation of youth engagement in our programs, we connect young people with the conservation skills, resources, and educational opportunities they need to create brighter futures for nature and themselves.
African People & Wildlife’s environmental camp inspired me so much that I’ve decided to pursue a bachelor’s degree in wildlife management!
