2026 LEEF Conference Wakulla Wild

This session highlights a University of Florida Extension project that integrates the Community Action Project for the Environment (CAPE) framework with youth from Scouting America, Girl Scouts of the USA, and other groups. Parents and troop leaders are equipped to guide youth through multi-month, community-based environmental action projects. Evaluation results demonstrate growth in youth scientific literacy, skills, and efficacy, illustrating how CAPE empowers meaningful, long-term environmental action.
