Ocean Bridge is an 11-month program bringing together Canadian youth and permanent residents from coast-to-coast-to-coast. Participants connect virtually to form a national team engaged in co-creating and delivering ocean and waterway service projects in their home communities. Youth get year-long ocean literacy distance learning, individualized coaching from Ocean Wise mentors, and funding to deliver local service projects of their own design. What’s more, Ocean Bridge youth come together, in person, for two expenses-paid immersive ‘learning journeys’ in some of Canada’s most spectacular places (pending COVID-19 health and safety regulations allowing travel during the program).
