CRCL’s Future Coastal Leaders (FCL) – College Track Program engages students from colleges and universities across Louisiana’s coast. Through the program, CRCL provides resources and support for our participants to learn about the issues facing our coast, proposed solutions, and potential career paths in restoration.

CRCL provides resources and support for our college-aged FCL to learn about the issues facing our coast, proposed solutions, and potential career paths in restoration. Required 30 hours of participation in the program as measured by a mix of self-guided and instructional activities with support from CRCL leadership.

FCL is made for students to understand Louisiana’s coastal challenges and how CRCL and many other organizations work to advance solutions. Students meet peers from other institutions with similar interests through recurring program meetings. I am working individually on a project related to my Honors Thesis. 

We are encouraged to become engaged members of their communities by volunteering, spreading awareness, and advocating solutions to our coastal challenges. Future Coastal Leaders can participate in CRCL’s habitat restoration events where they can experience hands-on, boots-in-the-mud coastal restoration work. Additionally, students host their own events, start clubs, raise funds for an aligned cause, or offer other creative ideas to support their community or campus.  

CRCL’s Future Coastal Leaders liaison will routinely communicate opportunities for personal and professional development. These include educational webinars, forums to advance social justice issues, leadership skills-building workshops, advocacy training, and networking opportunities with different state and national environmental organizations working on coastal restoration, advocacy, and outreach. 
I am gaining an in-depth understanding of the restoration efforts happening across Louisiana’s coast and exploring my interest in a career that aligns with my passion.
