The mission of the Wildlife Leadership Academy is to engage and empower high school-age youth to become Conservation Ambassadors to ensure a sustained wildlife, fisheries, and natural resource legacy for future generations.

A year-round program, the Academy begins with residential programming that focuses on wildlife/fisheries biology and conservation, as well as, leadership skills development, and continues with community outreach through education, service, media engagement, creative arts, and outdoor mentorship.

Wildlife Leadership Academy does most of its work at Camp Krislund, Madisonburg, PA (Centre County).
