About
For the academic year (and each summer), we seek part-time (or full-time for summer) Associates to help us advance our mission for a healthy ocean and stable climate. We focus on regional, national, and international youth engagement and leadership, especially advocacy.
Position overview:
The Associate would be responsible for helping in a variety of ways including assisting with our organizational development, and our major initiatives: global youth engagement and leadership; coordination of World Ocean Day worldwide; conservation policy campaigns, domestically and internationally. Associates are a key part of our team, helping to leverage our global network of 2,000 organizations in 150 countries for action on ocean and climate issues.
We are looking to improve our external communications platforms and capabilities for efficient and effective outreach. We need assistance with regular blog postings, development of regular e-newsletters and updates to our global network.

We count on interns/associates to help develop new ways for effective communications and campaigns to engage more youth for action.
Associates can work in a shared work office environment and/or virtual. Following onboarding with the team, work is largely conducted independently, with close coordination with and oversight from the 4 professional staff working with The Ocean Project.
