Philadelphia office hosts Earth Force Youth Leadership Team

CH2M HILL's Philadelphia office hosted Earth Force's Youth Leadership Team on January 26, 2009. Twenty students from six Philadelphia and suburban schools participated in the meeting centered on the theme "Civic Engagement, Media Attention, and Grant Writing Education." Murray Rosenberg, a senior project manager with CH2M HILL, kicked off the morning with opening remarks and spoke to the students about career opportunities in engineering and science. Speakers from civic, youth, non-profit, and advocacy groups presented to the students, who were tasked with implementing projects based on what they learned. Earth Force is a national educational organization that engages young people as active citizens to improve the environment and their communities now and in the future.
