Stewardship Saturday Program for High School Students
This free program for high school students features rotating events along our 600-mile range exploring the science of the Center, learning more about ocean conservation, connecting with local conservation communities, and more.
Looking for an opportunity to become more involved with the Center's work and explore how to make a real difference for the ocean and marine mammals you love? You're invited to join us for Stewardship Saturday, a program for high school students in grades 9-12.
You can sign up now to join us for one event or attend monthly, at no cost and with flexible monthly commitment. All events will include the opportunity to learn more about ocean conservation and how to start taking action now.
What is Stewardship?
Stewardship has many different forms! Thanks to our partners at NOAA, we have structured our Stewardship Saturday events around the following types of stewardship:
- Restoration and Protection
- Everyday Choices
- Community Awareness
- Stewardship Science
Upcoming Events
Due to the holiday season, we will not be hosting any events in November or December. Check back closer to January 2024 for next year’s events!
