Deadline Extended – 2026 Marine Plastics Ambassador Program
Hello,
I hope you’re doing well! I’m writing to share that the application deadline for the 2026 Marine Plastics Ambassador Program has been extended, and applications are still open—we would greatly appreciate your help spreading the word!
EarthEcho International, in partnership with SC Johnson, is building a network of 75 young leaders (ages 18–22 in the U.S.) to serve as Marine Plastics Ambassadors—a force for ocean restoration. Participants will receive a paid stipend, training, advocacy resources, and seed funding to develop and lead policy campaigns addressing plastic pollution in their communities.
The extended application deadline is March 8, 2026. Interested students can learn more and apply here: www.earthecho.org/plastics-ambassadors
We would greatly appreciate your support in sharing this opportunity with your networks, students, and members. To make it easy, our promotional toolkit includes ready-to-use messaging and graphics for email, newsletters, and social media. You can also help amplify EarthEcho’s posts on Instagram, LinkedIn, and Facebook.
Thank you so much for helping us empower the next generation of ocean advocates. Please feel free to reach out with any questions!
