OUR MOVEMENT
WE PREPARE YOUTH TO CREATE EFFECTIVE SOLUTIONS
Heirs To Our Ocean purposefully structures every youth interaction to disrupt the existing power dynamics that are rooted in inequitable distribution of resources. All programming is focused on collaboration across a diverse spectrum of socio-economic backgrounds and communities. By doing so, youth create effective and actionable solutions to the humanitarian and environmental crises they face.
H2OO works with youth in partnership and its methodologies represent a new and different approach to education as empathetic, connected and informed young leaders emerge from its programs.

This means H2OO has gained observer status— together with more than 200 other NGOs —and, among other things, can get its voice heard directly prior to and during UNEA (United Nations Environment Assembly) sessions.
