What did our Youth Press Teams Discover at our 14th Youth Conference?

June 6, 2025

We just completed our 14th Annual Discovering Sustainability Science Youth Conference and now it’s time to hear from our Youth Press Team! 

This year, 16 students ranging from 8 to 18 years old took on the role of junior reporters, interviewing both their student peers and guest speakers. As each team of student presenters took their bow, our Youth Press Team was there ready to delve deeper into the topics of climate education and sustainability science.

Those interviewed included: Joyce Leveston, CEO of the Javits Center, and Alexis Harley, Chief Risk and Resilience Officer for the New York Power Authority (NYPA).
