The Trailblazers initiative addresses a critical need for comprehensive environmental education and leadership development among underserved youth in the Santa Monica National Recreation Area. Despite the ecological significance of the SMMNRA, many young individuals from low-income and minority backgrounds lack access to quality educational opportunities that connect them with nature and inform them about environmental conservation. Trailblazers provides a vital lifeline, ensuring equitable access, paid internships and resources for all.
