Circadence Looking for Young Leaders to Travel to New York City and Attend Outdoor Nation Youth Summit and Festival

TUPELO, Miss., April 8 /PRNewswire/ -- The search is on! Circadence Corporation announced today that it will sponsor an Outdoor Nation Delegation of young leaders from Mississippi who will travel to New York City participate in the ground-breaking Outdoor Nation Youth Summit and Festival in Central Park. The event will take place June 19 and 20, and, for the first time, will bring together young Americans from across the country to reclaim, redefine and rediscover the outdoors. Circadence is looking for those young leaders who will commit to championing the outdoors -- as athletes, artists, advocates and ambassadors. Interested individuals (ages 16 - 26) are encouraged to visit www.outdoornation.org/circadence and complete the application by May 5, 2010. Individuals under the age of 18 will need to have an approved chaperon.

"Circadence is excited to sponsor two of Tupelo's most promising student leaders to serve as delegates to the upcoming Outdoor Nation Youth Summit. Our sponsorship not only confirms our corporate commitment to the environment, but recognizes that Mississippi, our operational home, is a state whose lands not only possess abundant outdoor opportunities but whose population values them as much as any state in the country," said R. Bradley Prewitt, Vice President of Mississippi Operations in Circadence's Advanced R&D Facility.

"Young people today have considerable power and influence -- politically, socially and financially -- and are developing new ways to coordinate, collaborate and communicate for the issues they care about. For the first time, through Outdoor Nation, youth are being empowered to become leaders on campuses and in communities -- championing the outdoors and outdoor issues," said Chris Fanning, executive director of The Outdoor Foundation.

Ground-breaking and game-changing, the Outdoor Nation Youth Summit and Festival will provide a platform for young leaders to set an outdoor agenda and create youth-led solutions, and will also be a celebration of the active, outdoor lifestyle. On June 19, Outdoor Nation will turn Central Park into the ultimate, outdoor playground complete with concerts and cultural festivities, as well as activities such as kayaking, fishing, bouldering, bird watching and kite flying. In addition, Outdoor Nation will include a high profile Outdoor Career Fair that will enable people of all ages to learn about outdoor career paths as well as get information about specific employment opportunities.

On June 20, Outdoor Nation will convene the first-ever youth-led national summit on the outdoors, where delegations of young people from each of the 50 states will set the agenda, lead the conversations and identify solutions. Delegates will not only craft and deliver their message of change to the country, but strengthen the outdoor youth movement by infusing young leaders with new ideas, skills and connections. Key Summit topics include: green jobs, health and wellness, diversity, service, recreation, education, media and culture. Following the Summit and Festival, young people will have the opportunity to apply for seed grants that will support their local projects in communities and on campuses.
