Every spring, YouthCaN welcomes over 1,000 environmental students and educators to present and participate in educational workshops and activities at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. Through the use of telecommunications, students from Texas, China, India, Kazakhstan, Kyrgystan, Slovakia, Japan, Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Novosibirsk and many more have also been able to participate in the annual conference. The entire YouthCaN conference, including all workshops and activities, is designed and presented by youth.
This year YouthCaN will again consist of conferences held in Belarus, Lebanon, Japan, New York, and Florida, and will be complemented by links to many other activities taking place in YouthCaN schools and communities around the world.

Working with the Planning Committee: Planning Committee meetings are held in the evenings at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. ANYONE interested in the environment, global computer communications, and environmental education is welcome to become a member. Often we use conference calls or video conference calls in order to involve participants in distant parts of the world.
The adult mentors and organizations supporting YouthCaN include the New York University, School of Education,
, and the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences in the Professions; iEARN, International Education Resource Network, The American Museum of Natural History's Department of Education and the YouthCaN Club.
Again, we invite you - teachers, students, schools, environmental clubs - ALL youth and educators - to join with us in facing the challenge of becoming better stewards of our environment.
Can we students, teachers, and parents be responsible in the world today, if the challenge of the environment is ignored?
