Every year, the Conservation Leadership Initiative (CLI) welcomes 25 Florida college students and 25 Audubon chapter mentors into the program. We strive to inspire the next generation of environmental leaders through building relationships, networking, and creating experiential learning opportunities. This year’s class represents 16 different Florida colleges and 16 local Audubon Chapters, covering regions from the Panhandle to South Florida and everywhere in between.
