Reaching Young People

The audience you’re trying to reach can determine how you choose to communicate.

Our ongoing communications research has clearly identified youth and minorities (with an emphasis on English as a Second Language households) as two audiences in the United States that have the greatest potential to shift the baseline in conservation participation. We are continuing to conduct research in the US (and soon, with funding, in other countries) to better understand these and other audiences and will update this page on a regular basis.

In this section, we have the latest information on The Ocean Project-supported youth programs. Stay tuned for more resources on why it’s important to reach diverse audiences in environmental communications.
