NPCA believes that engaging the next generation is critical to ensuring the protection of our national parks, which is why we launched the Next Generation Advisory Council.

The Council brings together a group of individuals, ages 21-32, to explore effective methods of engaging younger generations in national park advocacy and protection. As a diverse group of leaders and advocates, members of the Next Generation Advisory Council work closely with NPCA to ensure the protection, enhancement, and enjoyment of our natural and historic resources for the benefit of present and future generations.
