The Student Congress is a free, student-driven environmental conference that highlights student service-learning and leaders in the Chicago-Calumet River system. At this unique forum, students share their knowledge, experiences, and enthusiasm about science, nature, and climate resiliency. Students present and attend informative workshops and displays created by their peers from all over the watershed and by professionals from colleges, non-profits, and government agencies. The Student Congress is free and open to all students, especially those in middle school and high school. Families, siblings, and friends are always welcome.
