Through my internship with the Grants Program team this summer, I gained valuable insights into a wide range of ocean solutions addressing critical issues and had the privilege to support passionate young ocean leaders. This experience not only expanded my understanding of the ocean sector but also helped me align my career path with the important work being done in the #climatesector
As summer begins to wind down, Sustainable Ocean Alliance is celebrating the incredible young #oceanprofessionals that supported our programs this summer as interns! 🌊 In Partnership with Elemental Excelerator, Clean Energy Leadership Institute, and FutureMap’s Empowering Diverse Climate Talent #EDICT Internship Program, SOA was honored to have Ela Gokcigdem and Rosalyn Kamp join the #DreamTeam this summer to support SOA's Grants Program and our new #EcopreneurNetwork. From executing #grants for grassroots organizers to supporting founders in their #startup journey, Ela and Rosalyn contributed invaluably to SOA's mission while deepening their own individual understanding of the ocean-climate sector. By empowering diverse talent to grow within the #climatesector, we are able to create a more inclusive and thriving professional environment for all. Learn more about these two young ocean champions below. Thank you, Ela and Roz—here's to the next wave of ocean stewards! #SOACelebrates #YoungProfessionals #ECOPs #SummerInternship
Thank you for all you have contributed to SOA through your internship! We are eager to watch you continue to grow within the ocean/climate sector 🌊
