Ocean Youth Advisory Council – applications now open

“Youth might be 25% of the demographic but they are 100% of the future!”

Ocean Youth is all about amplifying the voice of our young people. After all, it is the next-gen that is inheriting the planet and all the challenges it faces. That’s why we’re kicking off the Ocean Youth Advisory Council. We want to make sure that everything we do is created by youth for youth, to help more people influence positive action for our #1 support system – our ocean.

If you feel passionate about the health of the planet, the plight of our ocean, the declining animal populations and climate change and are keen to build new skills in a supportive environment then we want to hear from you. As a founding representative on the Ocean Youth Advisory Council, you’d be helping us to make sure our programs and campaigns are relevant and engaging to youth as well as broaden our reach so we can get more and more young people influencing positive action for ocean health.

Send your brief expression of interest telling us what you’ve been doing to help our ocean and what you’d like to achieve as part of the Ocean Youth Advisory Council to hello@oceanyouth.org by 17th September.

We look forward to hearing from you!
