After training in political science at UQAM, I’m currently in my second year of a bachelor’s degree in environmental studies at the Université de Sherbrooke. I have acquired practical experience in the popularization and interpretation of natural environments, the realization of carbon footprints, as well as in the support and accompaniment of environmental projects thanks to my involvement in my university’s Campus Durable committee. Passionate about the outdoors and the conservation of natural environments, I’m convinced that immersion teaching, which involves learning in direct contact with ecosystems, is particularly effective. My internship with Environnement Jeunesse will enable me to combine my passion for raising environmental awareness with a deeper understanding of community action and civic initiatives.
As a Program Support Officer at Environnement Jeunesse, my role is to support member establishments in their environmental education initiatives.
