Emporia State University's Prophet Aquatic Research and Outreach Center (PAROC) is partnering with the Kansas Water Office to launch a Water Ambassadors Program, enabling high school students to become leaders in water conservation and natural resources. The program consists of four summer on-campus half-day sessions, where participants will receive hands-on experiences with tours and educational community outreach. Topics will be focused on water, aquatic habitats, local water utilities and interaction with state leaders who promote water resource sustainability. The PAROC outreach team will select 20 students to participate in the program. The application process can be completed online and must be submitted by May 1, 2026.
