Member Spotlight - June 2007

Adam Meyer

Not every 17 year-old can boast that they’ve raised hundreds of dollars for environmental nonprofits, served on the board of the Environmental Education Fund, and started an organization of his own (to save land around Richland Creek in Wake County). But Raleigh Charter High School student Adam Meyer is not your typical rising high school senior! Adam became concerned with environmental issues at a young age and began supporting environmental organizations with money from his allowance. Over the past 4 years, he has made and sold calendars and note cards and donated the proceeds to nonprofit organizations, including TLC. Adam won Third Place in Action for Nature's International Young Eco-Hero Award 2005 for his calendar project.

Adam recently added to his extensive list of honors by receiving a scholarship from the Paul Horner Foundation. This program awards rising high school juniors and seniors with a scholarship to pursue a unique summer experience. Adam is using his scholarship to conduct research on urban parkland in Seattle and hopefully Vancouver as well. He will be interviewing park users, city leaders, nonprofits and businesses, and plans to create a photo essay comparing parks in these other cities with Raleigh parks.

Adam lives in Raleigh with his parents, Sally and Andrew, and sister Joanna.
