emPower North Youth, part of Minnesota Renewable Now (MRN), just wrapped up the school year with their final video challenge! Over the course of the year, the youth completed five projects where they researched, recorded and edited their own videos—showcasing both their editing talents and growing environmental knowledge. Be sure to subscribe to the emPower North YouTube channel to check out their amazing work! Go to youtube.com/@MNRenewableNow-u3l.
A major highlight of the year was a field trip to Augsburg University. Youth toured the Environmental Studies department in one of the campus’s newest buildings, visited the community garden and even got a sneak peek at the greenhouse.
Looking ahead, MRN is excited to continue building this program. MRN is currently accepting donations to help expand opportunities for youth to explore and engage with environmental education and careers. Go to youtube.com/@MNRenewableNow-u3l.
