Articles
IYNF’s articles encompass a range of reflections, opinions, and research related to our work and broader current events. They weave personal and diverse narratives into experiences with IYNF training while shedding light on causes close to its values.
By exploring these pieces, you can gain insights into what it is truly like to participate in our training or be a volunteer. You can also obtain young perspectives on topics of social, political, or ecological importance, such as the degrowth concept, while getting educated on issues you may not know about, such as glacier trail maintenance.
Written by our participants, volunteers, or partners, they celebrate young voices and affirm their place in the environmental movement.
