REWILDING HEARTS THROUGH OCEAN CONNECTION

SENTINEL OCEAN ALLIANCE

Sentinel Ocean Alliance creates ocean-based opportunities and provides environmental education for the youth of South Africa’s coastal communities.

Mission

To provide transformative ocean-based education and experiences within safe, inclusive spaces that connect youth with the ocean, nurture wellbeing, and cultivate conscious guardians of our marine ecosystems.

We do this through

  • SKILLS-DEVELOPMENT

    Reducing school drop-out rates and youth unemployment by providing work opportunities and teaching employable ocean-based skills through lifesaving, surfing, swim coaching programmes, ocean knowledge and environmental education.

  • CITIZENSHIP

    Increasing the capacity and ocean-awareness of the youth within coastal communities and enabling active environmental citizenship, so that young people can bring change to, and become environmental champions within their communities. 

  • MENTORSHIP

    Offering general life guidance through training and providing access to ocean-based opportunities, thereby empowering young people to become mentors and role models among their peer groups and inspiring others to do the same.

  • EDUCATION

    Promoting and teaching ocean and environmental knowledge to youth from low-income coastal communities and cultivating a love and respect for the ocean and its creatures.
