Qu'est-ce que Portail Océan?

The Ocean Bridge program is a 3-month part-time program designed for students from coast to coast to coast currently doing their undergrad at a Canadian University, age 25 and under. Each year, the program connects youth and young professionals from rural land locked towns, northern communities, urban coastal cities and anywhere in between to form a national cohort of ocean ambassadors.

This project-based experiential program aims to empower young people to become Ocean Wise citizens and adopt a culture of service. Through 1:1 coaching, immersive learning journeys, online workshops and discussions, ambassadors become equipped with relevant skills and are provided with funding opportunities to design and deliver ocean and freshwater action projects that are implemented on a local or national scale.

Book-ended by two immersive regional Learning Journeys, ambassadors have the opportunity to learn and explore the awe-inspiring region of the Pacific Coast, as well as network and connect in the greater Toronto region.

This transformative experience provides ambassadors with the tools to position themselves as change makers in their communities and beyond. Whether this is your first experience with conservation work, or you are looking to reconnect with the environment or your community, this program has something to offer to everyone.

e me surprends encore à réfléchir au privilège et à la chance que j'ai eus de participer à cette expérience. Nous avons eu tellement d'occasions d'apprendre les uns des autres de diverses manières, mais aussi d'apprendre de certains enseignants fantastiques tout au long de notre voyage...

Prêt à faire le grand saut ?

Applications are currently closed for the 2025 cohort, however we encourage you to fill out our Expression of Interest form to be kept up to date with future youth programming opportunities!

Être entouré de tant de jeunes passionnés, attentionnés, gentils, prévenants, venant de cette grande et belle nation, les voir partager leurs expériences, leur passion, leur feu, leur dynamisme, se nourrir les uns des autres et se soutenir mutuellement dans cette entreprise a été extraordinaire.

Ocean Wise is based in the traditional and unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples, including the territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. We work across Turtle Island and beyond, supporting Indigenous peoples in their vital work on ocean conservation and biodiversity whenever possible or as we are invited to.
