In 1971, our mission to connect young people to the wonder and science of the natural world, igniting self-discovery and inspiring stewardship of our planet, was born in Yosemite National Park. In the decades since, NatureBridge has connected more than 1,000,000 kids to our national parks.

Each year, we honor a NatureBridge alum who experienced profound growth as a result of a NatureBridge program. Do you know a student who was particularly impacted by their NatureBridge experience? Are you that student?
Great applications demonstrate how NatureBridge impacted the nominee's life. How and why did they change? What do they do differently? Why was the experience so powerful?
Applications are accepted throughout the year. The winner is announced in February.
