New Hampshire Youth Environmental Summit
NHYES is an environmental leadership conference for middle-school students. NHYES is designed, organized, run, and led by a dedicated group of high school volunteers from Moultonborough Academy. NHYES is the only statewide environmental symposium for middle-school students east of the Mississippi River. Many of the organizers were once delegates themselves.
It's about high school students trying to make a difference.
