National Geographic Slingshot Challenge

Description

You’re invited to join the Slingshot Challenge webinar to learn more about how you can help support the next generation of conservation leaders! The Slingshot Challenge is an initiative designed to empower youth between the ages of 13-18 to learn about environmental topics, design a solution idea, and create and submit a 1-minute video.

Select submissions will be eligible to receive funding for up to $10,000 USD and the opportunity to attend National Geographic’s iconic Explorers Festival in June of 2025.

During the session you will receive an overview of the challenge basics to help you support young people’s participation in the challenge. You’ll also hear from a recent Slingshot Challenge Award Recipient whose solution idea involved supporting local wildlife. We'll also be answering any questions you may have. We look forward to seeing you soon!
