Day Eight: The New Year Countdown – Conservation and Education Program
This year, Municipal Minute will be counting down to the New Year with updates on legislation that will be effective starting on January 1, 2025.
Today, we are covering the Illinois Youth & Young Adult Conservation and Education Act that was passed by the General Assembly to provide education and employment opportunities for youth and young adults between the ages of 15-25.
The Act provides for creation of the Youth & Young Adult Conservation Pilot Program (Program). The Program will provide grants to units of local government to provide conservation education, job training programs, and internship opportunities with the Department of Natural Resources.
The curriculum of this program will be aimed at the development and maintenance of natural resources, environmental stewardship and civic responsibility, and improving the public land in Illinois.
