The
Youth Ambassador Program is a youth led movement for promoting the outdoors to other young adults. Youth Ambassadors share their own passions for the outdoors in hopes of inspiring others to get outside and experience what the state parks have to offer. In order to do this, Ambassadors work with park staff and take advantage of social media with the sole intention of reaching out to youth who have not developed a deep connection with outdoor recreation.

Logan Roberts
Iowa State Parks Youth Ambassador
Age: 20
Favorite State Park: Ledges State Park
Bio: I grew up on an acreage in the country and constantly explored in the woods behind my house, discovering a strong love for nature. Frequent camping trips with my family, being a Girl Scout, and volunteering at parks in my area furthered my passion for the great outdoors and led me to pursue a career in the natural resources field. I am now a junior at Simpson College double majoring in Environmental Science and Multimedia Journalism with a minor in Biology. I love being very involved on campus and doing anything outdoors.
Is there something exciting happening at an Iowa State Park that Logan should know about?
