Young voices: Through the arts, future environmental stewards have a global voice

Abstract

Young Voices, Horseshoe Crabs and the Arts ™, is a global outreach campaign directed toward students from pre-K though high school, but shared with people of all ages. The program has been operated by the Ecological Research and Development Group, Inc. since inception in 1999. During the past 15 years, the program has grown from a few hundred to participation by many thousands around the world. We celebrate these young environmental stewards whose compassion for the conservation of this remarkable species, expressed through art, has elevated and transformed our perception of this often-misunderstood mariner. To the artists and educators who have made this program possible, we give our heart-felt thanks.
