YOUTH GEOGRAPHIC ASSOCIATION

WHO ARE WE?
The Youth Geographic Association (YGA) is a global, student-led organization dedicated to educating the youth and general public about global issues in the areas of biomimicry, natural science, exploration, and conservation.
What does YGA do?
We engage youth 4-18 years old in ecological activities. From hands-on events like native species planting and animal cognition workshops to interactive booths at national conferences, we inspire the next generation of environmental stewards. Our impact extends to schools through our international chapters.
