The Ocean Bridge team, made up of 40 diverse youth aged 18-30 from across Canada, will contribute to the health of our Oceans by participating in a 10-day immersive wilderness expedition delivering a marine conservation service project of their design. In the months leading up to this extended service, they will co-create their projects with the local community and each other. By living, working and reflecting as a team in an iconic natural setting, the hope is they'll develop social capital, respect for diversity and a heightened sense of responsibility and pride. 

As a national team, Ocean Bridge will:

• Spend five months leading up to the journey identifying and planning their service project(s).
• Co-create their service project(s) with the local community and one another.
• Live together in the North shore of Lake Superior for 10 days in June. Locations visited will include Pukaskwa National Park, Pays Plat First Nation, Terrace Bay, Red Rock Indian Band, and others.
• Have a budget of $25,000 to support them in achieving their goals.
• Share their experience through social and media communications.
