The face to face program is aimed at high school aged students and delivered over a calendar year through SEA LIFE aquaria in Sydney, Melbourne, Sunshine Coast & Auckland.

OY gives participants the opportunity to learn valuable skills and knowledge that are transportable into any workplace. We see it as a capacity building program for young people who are passionate about conservation, sustainability and creating or adopting innovative solutions to some of the big issues.

A range of experiences including animal keeper and guest experience sessions are offered as well as opportunities to participate in field trips and nature based experiences with partners of the SEA LIFE Trust. You’ll also be instrumental in helping us co-ordinate events and influence your communities to adopt positive behaviour change.

There’ll be opportunities to participate in other aquarium activities including animal rehab and releases, marketing & PR opportunities and community conservation campaign creation and implementation as and when they arise.

Most importantly, you’ll have the opportunity to meet like-minded people who care as much about our oceans and wildlife as you. We want to work with Solutionaries and Oceanpreneurs who want to shift the dial on the state of the planet and have fun along the way.
