Description

The Environmental Careers Institute (ECI)  is a hands-on summer program for high school students to explore career opportunities in sustainability,  agriculture,  outdoor recreation,  and ecology.  Set in the stunning landscapes of Southwest Colorado,  the institute provides an immersive experience where students learn about environmental pathways while developing practical skills and building connections with professionals,  educators,  and peers.
