About World Ocean Day - Youth Advisory Council

The World Ocean Day Youth Advisory Council is a group of 20-25 young people with diverse backgrounds from countries around the world, who are actively engaged in conservation efforts in their communities. They unite to share their efforts with each other and the world, develop their leadership skills to strengthen their impact, and inspire millions to take action for our blue planet in June and throughout the year.Formed in 2016, the Council helps develop World Ocean Day into a unique opportunity to connect and unite the world each June, with continued engagement and action year–round for a healthy ocean, a stable climate, and a more sustainable society. The primary goal is to strengthen youth engagement, collaboration, and leadership for our shared ocean, which covers 71% of our planet and connects us all.

Benefits of World Ocean Day - Youth Advisory Council

The Ocean Project catalyzes collective action for a healthy ocean and a stable climate. We launched global coordination of World Ocean Day in 2002. By collaborating with youth leaders, community organizations, businesses, and others we are growing a global network that effectively engages the public, informs policymakers, and strives to protect our blue planet. Our role is to: 

  • Provide onboarding and comprehensive leadership training for all Council members. 
  • Spotlight Council members and amplify their voices throughout the year, including through opportunities to write guest blog posts, World Ocean Day social media takeovers, newsletter features, speaking opportunities at national and international conferences, governmental and NGO summits, media and news opportunities, and more. 
  • Provide real-life training to lead and organize your own ocean-climate event and campaigns 
  • Connect current Council members with members of the Council alumni network for collaboration in specific countries, regional hubs, and/or on issues of overlapping interest 
  • Help advance Council members by connecting them to opportunities with those affiliated with our global network of 2,000+ organizations in nearly 200 countries, including for future possible internships, jobs, and more
