Students write about and interact on environmental issues facing their communities during the year.
Since 1995, a youth planning committee has coordinated an annual event in April, which brings together youth of the world to share how they are using technology in environmental projects. In 2001 the primary Youth CaN event will take place on April 30, involving over 1,000 students, at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. YouthCaN is co-sponsored by New York University, the American Museum of Natural History, Marymount College and a number of high school environmental organizations.
