Resilience Ambassadors Program

Are you or do you know a 15-19 year old who is ready and passionate to take action in their community? Someone who is committed to positive change and a brighter future?

We encourage you to express interest or nominate them for the Resilience Ambassador Program.

The Resilience Ambassadors Program will enroll high school age youth from Marion, Monongalia, Preston, and Taylor County, WV. The program prepares youth ages 15-19 to make a contribution to building more vibrant communities in Monongalia County. Youth will learn key leadership qualities, mapping skills and use team-based scientific inquiry to identify important community, cultural, environmental and economic assets and create an assessment of community vulnerability to future flood hazards in the county. In addition to building friendships and having fun, students will learn the concepts, skills, information, and attitudes that enable them to prepare for tomorrow and lead community building efforts in their neighborhoods, towns, and rural homeplaces.
