Step into your future

Calling all students in Years 10, 11 and 12 with a sense of adventure and burn to contribute to real-world environmental issues!

Full scholarships are available for you to join in week-long research expeditions during your school holidays.

You’ll live and work in the field alongside Earthwatch scientists, doing hands-on research work like surveying fauna and flora, and monitoring carbon and water. As well as contributing directly to conservation research, you’ll increase your environmental and scientific acumen, learn about careers and future pathways, and make friends with other action-oriented students.
