We integrate scientific research and education on a Maine coastal island to develop leaders prepared to address environmental issues in a rapidly changing world
ABOUT US
Established in 2009, the Hurricane Island Center for Science & Leadership delivers STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) experiential education programs lasting 2-10 days for youth ages 11- 18.
We inspire individuals to become impassioned change leaders and informed citizens in confronting current and future environmental challenges. Our research agenda focuses on answering local high priority questions and increasing scientific capacity regionally. We pursue initiatives that increase our knowledge through the scientific process, and the knowledge gained then informs communities and empowers people to take action.
