Ocean Wise is proud to announce that applications are open for our YouthToSea Summer Leadership Programs in 2020. Previously known as the AquaCamps Work Experience Program, additional staffing and resources have allowed us to elevate our previous program to offer more training, coaching, and professional development opportunities. The new program still meets all the curriculum requirements for the Work Experience Program.

These programs are designed to offer youth (15-18) an opportunity to build their personal leadership, problem-solving and life skills. Youth in the program will participate in our summer AquaCamps programming at the Vancouver Aquarium, shadowing Children & Youth Educators to learn more about working with children in an educational capacity. Participants will expand their social network, increase their marine conservation knowledge, connect with their community and gain employment skills.

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.

Youth who complete the Leadership Program will receive:

·         120+ hours of volunteer service

·         Ocean Wise Animal Handling Certification

·         WHMIS Certification

·         CAN Autism Training

·         Ocean Wise Leadership Program Certificate of Completion

·         Opportunity to join member-only workshops/events at the Vancouver Aquarium

·         Valuable work experience and professional contacts

There is also an opportunity to complete an original ocean conservation service project of their choosing with an Ocean Wise mentor.

More information including how to apply, placement dates/times, and FAQ’s can be found at: education.ocean.org/youthtosea

We are closely following all COVID-19 development and curre​ntly the Summer program will run as planned. However, please be aware there may be a change in dates/opportunities for this program as the provincial and national pandemic response changes. We will keep all applicants updated throughout the process. If we are unable to reopen the Vancouver Aquarium before summer begins, participants will be allowed to withdraw their application to the program, or we can help mentor you through an ocean service project to meet your 120 hours of service.

Please let us know if you have any questions and share this with any of your students who might be interested in this awesome opportunity! General inquiries from students and parents can be sent to youth@ocean.org

Engineering events for girls!

UBC Engineering is making a difference in the world. Our Professors, students and alumni are devising solutions to real-world issues. Whether it is finding solutions for the climate emergency at the Clean Energy Research Centre, helping rebuild communities after international emergencies, like alumni Sara Badiei, or simply taking an Electrical Engineering course (ELEC 371) to develop hands-on solutions for medical procedures such as hip replacements. Engineering takes what we have learned from science and applies that knowledge to help people and improve the world around us.

We know that many of the girls that choose to study engineering do so because they want to make a difference and help people. UBC Engineering is encouraging even more girls to explore engineering as a career option and we hope you will help by sharing these exciting opportunities.

Junior Instructors will work closely with two instructors to deliver hands-on and engaging STEM programming for up to 30 kids anywhere from grades 1 – 12. This position can satisfy the 30 hours of Work Experience/Community Service requirement for graduation.
