JOIN OUR COLLECTIVE OF MONTHLY DONORS SUPPORTING YOUTH REDEFINING LEADERSHIP & DRIVING SOLUTIONS FOR A HEALTHY PLANET – ONE RIPPLE AT A TIME

The Ripple Collective is Heirs To Our Ocean’s new monthly giving community supporting the next generation of ocean, climate, and eco-justice leaders.

If you believe better leadership is the key to a healthier planet, this is where change starts. Your membership will power real-world education for rising youth leaders and action to shift systems—globally.

Throughout the year we will share special challenges focused on funding specific solutions and areas of action. Our first challenge: Unplastic the Planet Challenge— will support youth action to further a legally binding Global Plastics Treaty.

Start your ripple today. Join us in shaping a just, sustainable future—month by month.

Participants from Indonesia, Guam, Hawai’i, United States, and Palau connect at SEAL 2021. We provided 7 of these youth with full scholarships thanks to support from our donors.

Heirs To Our Ocean is a nonprofit youth empowerment learning program under via senti, a California public benefit nonprofit corporation and an IRC 501(c)(3).

All donations are tax-deductible to the full extent of the law.

WHY JOIN THE RIPPLE COLLECTIVE?

WE CAN’T SOLVE CLIMATE AND HUMANITARIAN CRISES WITHOUT SOLVING THE LEADERSHIP CRISIS THAT CREATED THEM

Today’s systems are failing because they’ve left youth—the most impacted and often the most insightful—out of the decision-making and too often are shaped by leaders who are disconnected, self-serving, and short-sighted. We’re changing that. As a Ripple Collective member, you’re investing in a new generation of leaders who bring equity, empathy, and bold solutions into rooms where change happens—from local governments to the United Nations. Diverse youth groups participate in collaborative problem-solving, each bringing in their life experiences and ways of processing to create new solutions for the world’s complex problems. They inspire and motivate one another to act, and they collaborate in advocating for all youth who are inheriting our Blue Planet.
