If you know a teenager that has an interest in wildlife conservation, a new initiative from the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation may lead them to a career in the field.
The Youth Conservation Leadership initiative gives 15 to 18 year olds volunteer experience that could range to working with university researchers, conservation officers, the Ministry of Environment or non-profit groups.
SWF spokesperson, Chelsea Walters, says the teens could shadow, be mentored or do field work, which means expanding their resumes, developing skills and exploring different conservation career opportunities .

The deadline is January 25th.
For the first year, 16 teens will be chosen and depending on how it goes, there could be a larger list in future years.
