NNI staff leads the Conservation Studies Certification VOC ED courses at West Los Angeles Community College. This free, non-credit course series is open to high school and college students as well as community members. Participants connect to local nature and learn about conservation careers, receiving a certificate that becomes part of their formal academic transcript.

Without the Conservation Certificate and Summer Fellows programs I would not be where I am today. I discovered my love for plants, conservation, and education… while making lifelong friends and supporting my community. I will forever be grateful for my experience as it helped me pursue my dream of becoming a plant disease ecologist!
