LEYO recognizes that the youth of today will inherit the world of tomorrow and is determined to educate, empower, and inspire youth most affected by environmental injustice. LEYO uses experiential environmental education to bridge the gap between knowledge of the environment in the classroom and real-world experiences in the natural environment, in order to equip youth with the tools needed to become agents of sustainable change. Through the engagement of university students, LEYO aims to cultivate a campus and community-wide understanding of the environmental, economic, and social implications of sustainability issues.
