The Youth Science Ambassador Program in Inuit Nunangat

This meeting brings together AC2024 attendees who are current, past, or prospective future participants and partners in the Youth Science Ambassador program. The Youth Science Ambassador program is an innovative initiative of Ocean Networks Canada which provides training, employment, and experience for youth (18-30) in ocean science and technology. The youth explore connections between world-leading ocean science, place-based Indigenous knowledge, and Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit (IQ). The program is implemented in a variety of communities in Inuit Nunangat and coastal British Columbia. Through new funding from Polar Knowledge Canada, the program will be launched in 5 communities in Nunatsiavut in 2024.
