Each year we host summer programs or SPROGS around the country, and about 200 youth go through this week long program each year to learn about environmental issues and environmental organization/campaign planning. I am contacting you today to see if you, or other students would be interested in attending this program. The <b>Southwest SPROG will be held August 11-18 in San Diego, California.</b> You will be able to learn about topics such as strategy and campaign planning, working with the media, effective facilitation for meetings and groups, grassroots outreach, and much more. This is an amazing opportunity to gain leadership experience, and to enhance the work that your organization does. You can apply at <a href="http://ssc.org/sprog">http://ssc.org/sprog</a>. If you have any questions please let me know. You can also find more information at the website above.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Thank you,<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><b>Aaron M.
