Ocean Leaders Fellowship

2025 - Present

Challenge

The ocean is our lifeline. And the next generation of ocean leaders is inheriting the responsibility to protect it. Yet systemic barriers—such as limited opportunities and exclusion from critical decision-making spaces—often prevent young leaders from contributing their expertise and advancing their careers.

Action

The Ocean Leaders Fellowship which we support gives 40 selected Fellows the opportunity to develop critical skills as leaders in the ocean sector. The program curriculum includes skill development workshops, expert mentorship, collaboration opportunities with peers, and attendance at the 2025 Our Ocean Youth Leadership Summit and UN Ocean Conference. This Fellowship goes beyond amplifying youth voices. It prepares Fellows to lead with confidence and the tools necessary to champion meaningful, lasting change.
