Youth and Family-Centered Conservation

The Keller Science Action Center’s Youth & Family–Centered Conservation programs strive to build a Chicago Region where youth are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and passion to become the region’s environmental stewards and sustainability leaders of tomorrow. Our team leads programs, events, and internships that support a diverse next generation of conservation leaders by emphasizing hands-on, place-based experiences.
Youth and families learn alongside Field Museum ecologists, social scientists, and educators, meet peers from across the city, and explore local nature—turning science into action in their own neighborhoods.
