2024 Environmental Youth Leadership Award

We are thrilled to announce that CLE’s very own Erick Rodriguez has been selected as one of two recipients of the 2024 Environmental Youth Leadership Award! Please join us in congratulating Erick on this incredible achievement.

We look forward to attending and supporting him at the 41st Annual Smith Nature Symposium, where he will be honored for his outstanding contributions.

The team at Brushwood Center recognized Erick’s exceptional potential as a leader, just as we have seen firsthand. His work in the community through his role at CLE, combined with his aspirations of pursuing a career in pediatric physical therapy, reflect his compassion, dedication to justice, and commitment to creating a better future for others.

This year, the award includes a monetary scholarship that will support Erick in his educational journey. We couldn’t be prouder of all he has accomplished and the bright future ahead of him.
