Scholarships Awarded to Rising Environmental Leaders
The Harris Center is proud to present our 2022 Environmental Leadership Awards to two graduating high school seniors who have a demonstrated passion for the natural world, a strong commitment to the environment, and the capacity to create positive change in their community and beyond — Karel Wolterbeek of Conant High School and Caitlin Beal of ConVal High School. Each award comes with a $2,500 scholarship, made possible through the generosity of an anonymous donor who believes fervently in the power and promise of young people to create positive environmental change.
