Apply to be an Inland Ocean Ambassador
Ocean Ambassadors are trained inland ocean advocates with a deep knowledge of the issues affecting our ocean and are empowered to make a difference in their communities for the future of our ocean.
Our Inland Ocean Ambassadors are members of our community and one of the most important ways of demonstrating your commitment is through a monthly donation. We ask all of our Inland Ocean Ambassadors to commit to a monthly donation of $15 to support the program and future engagement opportunities.
However, we never want finances to stand in the way of your commitment to the ocean, so we have a limited number of scholarships available per training session for anyone who can't afford to give at this time.
Supporters have access to the exclusive Inland Ocean Ambassador Training Program and Inland Ocean Network community. Monthly donations can be canceled or modified at any time after the certification program is completed. Thank you for demonstrating your commitment to our ocean and our planet!
