Students

At Earthwatch, we want to inspire young people to take positive action to protect the natural world and ensure a sustainable future for all.

The majority of environmental threats that face society today will disproportionately affect young people – who’ll have to live with the environment, and the environmental conditions, they inherit from earlier generations long after those generations have gone.

We’ve designed our programs to empower young people to become an active part of the solution, and to equip them with the skills and knowledge they’ll need to generate effective responses to growing ecological challenges. As active participants in hands-on field research, students will have the opportunity to apply their in-class learning to real-world issues.

Students benefit from these sorts of hands-on education programs in so many ways. Through personal interaction with researchers, outdoor-based activities and teamwork, they develop a sense of real purpose. This improves their overall motivation, sparks new interest in the world around them, and promotes nature discovery and inquiry skills.
