As we wrap up our year at the Water Education Foundation, we are busy looking ahead to our 2026 slate of engaging tours, workshops and conferences on key water topics in California and across the West. 

• Applications for our 2026 California Water Leaders cohort are due Dec. 5.
• Applications are also being accepted for our 2026 Colorado River Water Leaders cohort and are due Jan. 26, with a virtual Q&A session Dec. 10.
• And don’t miss the return of our Lower Colorado River Tour March 11-13, on which we take you from Hoover Dam to the U.S.-Mexico border and through the Imperial and Coachella valleys. Registration opens Dec. 10. 
• Plus, Giving Tuesday is right after Thanksgiving and a national day to support nonprofits. You can support water education across California and the West on Dec. 2 or anytime by donating here!
