Join staff from the Gulf of Maine Research Institute's Impact Division for a day full of hands-on sessions designed to get you ready to collaborate internally and with community partners, and implement learning activities with youth wherever you are in Washington County.

We’ll explore connections to the environment, local industry, community needs, and most importantly, the power of resilience coastal communities embody. Here is the agenda overview:

• Developing a Sense of Place
• Stories of Local Impacts and Resilience
• Interest/Community Mapping
• Lunch provided
• Chose an afternoon track (sea level rise, coastal flooding, and resilience OR Gulf of Maine warming, blue food systems, and adaptations)
• Time to identify and plan for next steps

This is open to any adults within the many learning pathways for youth (food service, K-12 education, administration, etc) in Washington County.

This is a FREE event, with contact hours and lunch provided. This event is made possible by a collaboration with the Washington County Consortium.
