Bridge to Tomorrow


The objective of the Bridge to Tomorrow (B2T) program is to provide young leaders an opportunity to develop their professional network and learn more about public land partnerships by attending the APPL Partnership Convention & Trade Show.

The program started in 2009 and is funded jointly by APPL’s Next Generation Fund, members, and partners. You can show your support for the program by donating to the Next Generation Fund.

Eligibility: Applicants should be young professionals, college students, or volunteers (18-30 years of age) associated with a public land organization, program, or land management agency. Previous B2T participants are welcome to re-apply. Participants are responsible for their own expenses to attend and participate in the Convention – scholarships opportunities are available.


Scholarships: Thanks to the generous donation of APPL member organizations and partners, scholarships are available to applicants of APPL member organizations based on need and previous APPL scholarship awards. If requesting scholarship funds please complete scholarship section of application. Request for scholarships is not a guarantee of funding.
