The Emerging Stewards program

Raincoast’s Emerging Stewards program is designed to help inspire a new generation of conservation leaders in the Salish Sea.

We connect local youth with Raincoast scientists and Salish Sea Indigenous knowledge holders through a variety of nature-based experiential learning activities.

Field and class visits lead up to the program’s centrepiece where our research vessel Achiever serves as a floating classroom.

Thank you to our funders: Arcteryx, Victoria Foundation, The Hamber Foundation, The Barraclough Foundation, WWF Canada and Telus.
