Emerging Direct Services Program: One Youth
NEXT GENERATION OF LEADERS WHO NEED A LIFT
Heirs to Our Ocean (H2OO) provides a safe haven for youth in immediate need of physical safety and access to life skills and essential education.
In seeing children’s and young adults’ rights to life and health becoming more and more violated, H2OO has reacted with direct services. There are many youth in this world with both innate leadership skills who have endured difficult experiences creating an inner drive for change. They simply need a lift, support, love, to rise up out of their current circumstances and be given an opportunity to live in an environment that fosters their leadership growth.
H2OO believes that all youth deserve this. Accordingly, we responded to the need and provided direct services to the next generation of global leaders who have what it takes to really make change, understanding intersectionality issues and challenges to humanity.

OUR SERVICES
Youth who receive direct services that remove them from imminently harmful environments also have access to our programming including customized education and empowerment opportunities. We meet youth where they are by offering 1:1 tutoring to help them effectively reach toward their dreams of achieving higher education and becoming leaders who make the world a better place for all.

SPONSOR A YOUTH
It is imperative that all youth are provided opportunities to learn about real-world challenges, that they all have an opportunity to share concerns, experiences, and perspectives, that they all develop essential skills to manage what they are inheriting, and that they all have an opportunity to connect with youth of diverse backgrounds to process solutions and mobilize as a global community of future empathetic leaders.
