The San Francisco Shoreline Leadership Academy is a 15-week training program for high school juniors and seniors sponsored by the Bay Conservation and Development Commission and the Port of San Francisco. Participants will get to tour parts of the San Francisco shoreline and be trained by subject matter experts on a variety of topics including sea level rise, flooding, beneficial reuse of sediment, economic development, and more.
We hope that this is an opportunity to meaningfully engage with issues related to the Bay environment and shoreline, and to practice how they can be changemakers in these spaces, individually and collaboratively. In addition to weekly virtual and in-person meetings and discussions, participants will be able to create and present a final project that combines their learning.
Each participant will receive a $1800 stipend upon completion of the Academy (as well as food and travel stipends throughout) and will have a chance to apply for a summer internship with the Port of San Francisco.
