conservation careers
Birds Georgia's Conservation Career Series features presentations by a diversity of conservation career professionals. This series offers an exploration of different career and academic paths for students, including higher education and apprenticeships, as well as careers in nonprofits, private businesses, and government roles. The goal of this series is to pique the interest of students in environmental-focused careers and provide students with continued opportunities to get involved in developmental programs toward these positions.
This virtual program is for everyone, and you can join as a class, as a teacher, a student, a parent, or a curious mind! All programs are FREE and will take place via Zoom. Access to view recordings will be available to all attendees.
