NJDEP YII at Stevens Center for Sustainability
Empowering the Next Generation
This summer, the Stevens Center for Sustainability (SCS) proudly partnered with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection’s (NJDEP) award-winning Youth Inclusion Initiative (YII) as a Community Host Organization. YII empowers youth from overburdened communities across New Jersey by providing hands-on experiences in environmental careers and immersing them in the state’s diverse ecosystems. Believed to be the only state-led initiative of its kind in the nation, YII is a pioneering model for building a more diverse and equitable environmental workforce.
