Ocean Conservation Leaders is a virtual leadership program for high school students to gather and build a community around their passion for marine science. The leadership program will amplify youth advocacy and agency by creating a community-oriented space for the discussion around ocean conservation and climate change. This is a safe, open space for teenagers to learn how to cultivate optimism as we grapple with complex issues and transform passion into action. We hope that we can all learn from one another in order to strive for truly effective change and holistic conservation solutions. We welcome high school students from around the world with any level of marine science knowledge or experience with ocean conservation, and strongly encourage those that are new to these topics to apply. All we ask is that you are passionate about the ocean! Applications are accepted on a rolling basis.
