Youth-to-Sea Program: Oceanwise

 

YouthToSea is back!

Good morning,

Ocean Wise is proud to announce that applications are open for our 2022 YouthToSea Leadership Program with applications due April 24th, 2022.

YouthToSea is designed to offer youth (15-18 years old) in the Lower Mainland an opportunity to build their personal leadership, problem-solving and life skills. Youth in the program will participate in outdoor excursions, skills building workshops, and create their own ocean service project. Youth who join the program will expand their social networks, increase their marine conservation knowledge, connect with their community, and gain employment skills. In addition to our regular program, this year we are offering 5 different Work Experience streams for students completing their Work Experience course in school.

Our updated WEX Program offers the following streams:

·         Marine Survey: Students will get a hands-on experience conducting a scientific monitoring project. They will learn how to set up a research project, conduct environmental surveys and identify a variety of marine invertebrates.

·         Wetland Survey: Students will get a hands-on experience conducting a scientific monitoring project. They will learn how to set up a research project, conduct environmental surveys and identify a variety of freshwater invertebrates, plants, and birds.

·         Camps Placement: In collaboration with Sea Smart, this placement will give students the opportunity to work in a day camp setting. The placement includes a 2-week placement with a day camp, where students will get the opportunity to create and lead their own activities (with support from staff). 

·         Communications: Students will get hands on experience with content creation through photography, videography, editing and blog writing. Students will attend YouthToSea events and excursions creating material for online forums.

·         Shoreline Cleanup: Students will get hands on experience working in a non-profit ocean conservation environment. This placement includes creating a research plan, attending, and organizing cleanups, sorting material, and analyzing data. Students will also work with our Plastic Research team to develop new plastic interventions.

There is limited space in the program. We are offering 30 spots in our Classic Program and 54 spots in across our 5 Work Experience streams. 

A full program description including application details and FAQ’s can be found here:  https://ocean.org/learn-explore/youth-programs/youthtosea-how-it-works/

YouthToSea 2022 will run from May 2022 – October 2022 and is supported by the Government of Canada through the Canada Service Corps initiative. All training, certifications, and retreats are fully funded, and there are no costs for participants.
