Its all about the environment!

YELC is the annual Youth Environmental Leadership Conference. Students travel to Granite Hills High school where they participate in many STEM workshops. They learn about environmental issues and choose a service earning project to conduct throughout the year. Students receive a grant through MEEC that pays for their service learning project. Students then go back and present their projects at the spring YELC showcase. Students also participate in a Solar oven cook-off competition in early summer. Students have to design and construct working solar ovens that will be able to prepare a main course and dessert in their solar ovens. Students must prepare all food items at the competition.
