Visit our calendar<\/a> to learn more.<\/p>\n The Council also advises Birds Connect Seattle staff members on employing and engaging younger and more diverse audiences. We are always looking for new ideas and will look forward to hearing from new council members about their own ideas for future engagement opportunities.<\/span><\/p>\n The Council currently meets virtually either once or twice per month for 1.5 hours in total, generally in the evening. In addition, members gain the following benefits for their service:<\/p>\n For general questions, please contact Community Engagement Manager, Hanae Bettencourt, via email<\/a> or phone at (206) 523-8243 ext. 108 (messages only).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The NextGen Council was formed in 2018. As a more than 100-year-old organization, we have a rich history of conservation achievements, but our programs have not been sufficiently informed by or served diverse audiences. This is not the Birds Connect Seattle of the future. Our strategic plan includes an increased commitment to intentional collaboration with communities that have been excluded or sidelined by the mainstream environmental movements of the past. The NextGen Council is one part of these efforts.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_menu menu_id=”1385″ dropdown_menu_active_link_color=”#000000″ module_id=”.sidebar_nav” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” menu_line_height=”1.2em” module_alignment=”center” custom_css_main_element=”border-top:3px solid #7cc68d; \t||border-bottom:3px solid #7cc68d;||padding:10px;” custom_css_menu_link=”margin-top: 8px;||min-width: 280px;||display: block;||margin: auto;\t||” custom_css_active_menu_link=”font-weight:bold;\t” custom_css_dropdown_container=”width:100%;\t” border_color_all=”gcid-b1dce0f9-6726-44d3-a013-e7ac9369377c” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-b1dce0f9-6726-44d3-a013-e7ac9369377c%22:%91%22border_color_all%22%93}” custom_css_menu_link_last_edited=”on|desktop” custom_css_menu_link_tablet=”margin-top: 8px;||min-width: 280px;||display: block;||margin: auto;\t||” custom_css_menu_link_phone=”margin-top: 8px;||min-width: 280px;||display: block;||margin: auto;\t||”][\/et_pb_menu][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”gcid-5db2a3a8-120e-4532-b28a-2df216f2e15c” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”20px||0px|10px|false|false” link_option_url=”https:\/\/birdsconnectsea.org\/news\/”<\/a>; border_color_all=”RGBA(0,0,0,0)” border_width_top=”3px” border_color_top=”gcid-b1dce0f9-6726-44d3-a013-e7ac9369377c” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-5a1ca006-481f-4215-8348-29a193f148ac%22:%91%93,%22gcid-1f763fac-8e83-42c6-b4fd-8dd7e7c947e0%22:%91%93,%22gcid-9d5e0c6c-0842-4e22-8ff9-bdd8aee4548d%22:%91%93,%22gcid-c7113f06-fa36-42b8-a13e-9cf2867a4f8f%22:%91%93,%22gcid-b1dce0f9-6726-44d3-a013-e7ac9369377c%22:%91%22border_color_top%22%93,%22gcid-405d6fe8-9099-495a-9678-080b9c7ff306%22:%91%93,%22gcid-5db2a3a8-120e-4532-b28a-2df216f2e15c%22:%91%22background_color%22%93}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_blog posts_number=”3″ include_categories=”1380,1369,1378″ excerpt_length=”50 ” show_author=”off” show_categories=”off” show_excerpt=”off” use_overlay=”on” module_class=”related-articles” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” header_level=”h3″ header_text_color=”#79736C” header_font_size=”1.2em” meta_text_align=”left” meta_line_height=”0.5em” pagination_font=”|700||on|||||” pagination_text_color=”#000000″ background_color=”rgba(164,158,151,0.1)” text_orientation=”left” width=”100%” module_alignment=”left” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”10px|15px|10px|15px|false|false” border_color_bottom_fullwidth=”gcid-405d6fe8-9099-495a-9678-080b9c7ff306″ border_radii_image=”on|20px|20px|20px|20px” border_color_all_image=”RGBA(0,0,0,0)” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-405d6fe8-9099-495a-9678-080b9c7ff306%22:%91%22border_color_bottom_fullwidth%22%93}”][\/et_pb_blog][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"What does the Council do?<\/strong><\/h3>\n
