EMERGING LEADER AWARD
Lael Kylin Judson has been recognized with the 2025 Emerging Leader Award in the environmental justice field — a powerful testament to her courage, commitment, and vision as a young advocate.
At a time when many young people are still discovering their voice, Lael has already chosen to use hers with purpose. She has shown unwavering dedication to protecting her community, standing up for clean air and safe environments, and ensuring that youth perspectives are not only heard but respected in critical conversations about Louisiana’s future.
Her leadership is not symbolic — it is active, informed, and courageous. She has demonstrated that environmental justice is not just an adult issue; it is a generational responsibility. Through education, advocacy, and community engagement, Lael represents the next generation of leaders who understand that protecting our land and health requires boldness, knowledge, and action.
We are incredibly proud of Lael Kylin Judson for this well-deserved recognition. Her work reminds us that age does not determine impact — commitment does. The future of environmental justice is brighter because of leaders like her.
