IN 2000, A GROUP OF COMMITTED YOUNG PEOPLE JOINED TREE-SITTER ACTIVIST Julia Butterfly-Hill on the grass lawn at Bioneers. This group came to create the first greening initiative for the Bioneers Conference and made a commitment to bring more young people to the conference to experience the intersections of environmental and
social change. From that, the Bioneers Youth Scholarship program was born. Youth have continued to influence how Bioneers as an organization and a national conference can represent the modern youth culture.

Scholarships are offered to bring a diverse youth contingent to the Bioneers Conference, who would otherwise not be able to attend. Scholarships can cover registration, and some lodging, meals and travel costs.

The scholarship program is a unique opportunity to enter into a dynamic network of youth, educators, and organizations that care about the state of our Earth and people. By receiving and accepting a scholarship to the Bioneers Conference you are also becoming an informal advisor to the Bioneers Youth Program. Not only do you get to experience the Bioneers Conference, but you will gain exposure to many resources and opportunities to continue engagement throughout the year.
