Conservation begins with Education

Our mission

To introduce young individuals to a purposeful and educational program, enriched by hands-on training, diligent effort, and fun.

The new experiences, new places, new people, and new approach will create new hope, new ideas, and new attitudes. Instead of choosing from well-traveled, often overcrowded trails, the JSIS kids are blazing new ones, and in doing so, are redefining their goals as well as themselves. The intention is to help them create their future, instead of looking for it. Instead of choosing from limited alternatives, they will learn that creating their own path changes them as well as their destination.
