2022 ACE Fellowship for Young Leaders

Action for Clean Environment Fellowship for Young Leaders Program Completion Ceremony Held in Seoul

Action for Clean Environment (“ACE”), a global non-profit organization with a mission to facilitate global environmental activism, successfully completed the 2022 Fellowship for Young Leaders Program. This was the third year for the program and a ceremony was held on July 16 at the Seoul Club in Seoul, Korea to mark the occasion.

Eleven students of various ages, second to eleventh grade, participated in the program this year. Sylvia Sangha Park (Seoul Foreign School), Eric Hyun Sim (Eaglebrook School) and Young-Wook Suh Sohn (Seoul International School) served as Junior Leaders. The program comprised of three main sessions over three weeks: 1) active team debate on the issue of pollution; 2) touring the Sikmulsung Dosan located in Gangnam-gu, Seoul; and 3) an essay writing and group presentation. Through the program, the leaders and the fellows engaged in dynamic discussion and activities regarding global environmental issues.

“It was a proud moment to watch young students demonstrate their passion for solving global environmental problems and develop actionable plans without active guidance from adults,” said Tony Lee, Executive Director of ACE. A number of institutions contributed special gifts for the students including U.S. Embassy Seoul, and State of Tennessee Korea Office.
