Fellowship with other believes is such an important part of growing in our relationship with the Lord and our heart is that young adults would find real community and be planted in what God is doing in our church. We are community that builds each other up, prays for each other, serves together, and simply has fun together as we grow in our faith.

From June 24-26, 2022, over one hundred youth delegates from around the world came together at the UN Ocean Conference Youth and Innovation Forum with a shared goal: to protect the ocean. The Forum was a unique opportunity for young people to contribute to the implementation of SDG 14, all in alignment with the 2022 UN Ocean Conference theme:
Ultimately, youth will leave the Forum with the knowledge, tools, and inspiration they need to advance the fight to protect the ocean. This event will also bring critical media attention to the importance of the ocean when it comes to combating climate change.
Young people from across the United States and its territories can apply to become a NOAA Ocean Guardian Youth Ambassador. If accepted, you will gain access to toolkits, presentations, opportunities, and guidance from NOAA scientists, science communicators, and other experts. Youth Ambassadors are part of a nationwide network of young people who share ideas, experiences, and support for ocean conservation and stewardship efforts.
The NOAA Office of National Marine Sanctuaries creates innovative education and outreach programs that spread awareness of the connection that each individual and community has to the ocean. The NOAA Ocean Guardian Youth Ambassador program is the newest method by which we involve youth in ocean conservation and stewardship.
Ocean Discovery Institute is a 501(c)3 nonprofit that uses science to empower young people from underserved urban communities to transform their lives, their community, and our world as scientific and conservation leaders.
Ben May, Founder and President at ThinkOcean and a student at the University of Pennsylvania. Ocean and land are tightly interconnected. Everything that we do on land has a direct, global, and cascading impact on the ocean. What happens in the oceans affects the entire planet.
Despite being the largest demographic in the world, and the most at risk, youth commonly have the smallest voice when it comes to engagement. Yet young people need to actively start driving change because the world we will all inherit is shaped by the actions and decisions of today.
I founded ThinkOcean to provide a platform and community for like-minded, passionate people who are doing amazing work to lead their own projects, creating widespread change in their communities. In just its first year, it has spread environmental awareness, promoted sustainable practices, and played a hand in comprehensive governmental action. I also help organize Sea Youth Rise Up, bringing together young leaders from around the globe to speak with world leaders and bring young voices to the decision-making table.
We must invest more time and money in promoting actions by youth. At the Youth Ocean Conservation Summit, we bring together students, scientists, and conservationists to support young people to launch their own conservation initiatives. Investment in such programmes can help us channel our passion in proactive ways and build the momentum that will help us address the challenges of tomorrow.
The Youth Ocean Conservation Summit empowers middle and high school students across the country with the knowledge, skills and resources necessary to successfully implement ocean conservation projects in their local communities.
He started looking into the problem and possible technology solutions to clean up ocean plastic pollution, dedicating a school project to developing his idea further. He presented his ideas at a TEDx Conference in late 2012. In February 2013, the TEDx video suddenly went viral, and the momentum that followed allowed Boyan to drop out of his Aerospace Engineering degree to officially found The Ocean Cleanup.
Our youth initiative will complement and enhance related efforts at The Ocean Project to advance ocean conservation in partnership with zoos, aquariums, museums (ZAMs), youth, and many others worldwide. For 20 years, The Ocean Project has supported ZAMs and our other partner organizations in a variety of ways through innovative and effective visitor and public engagement programs and campaigns that result in conservation impact. Since 2002, we have served as the global collaborative coordinator of World Ocean Day, on June 8 with continued year-round involvement, to help our network of partners do even more to increase awareness about the importance of protecting and conserving our shared ocean and help activate people from all sectors.
To grow this new initiative and help us collaborate as closely as possible with you and our network of hundreds of partner organizations, The Ocean Project is pleased to announce a new addition to our team: Rachael Coccia. As Director of Youth Initiatives, Rachael will help our partners create connections that engage young people for ocean conservation in a variety of interrelated ways.

The Ocean Project has been collaborating to create platforms for young people to speak for our ocean, inspire a global audience of young and old alike, and ensure decision-makers fully recognize the importance of involving youth throughout the process of creating a more sustainable society.
Working closely with ZAM youth programs, we are looking to provide engaging opportunities to keep young people actively learning and involved in helping protect and conserve our blue planet, starting from an early age and continuing throughout their entire lives.
Several layers of waves rolled toward the coast, one after another, as the Oregon seascape stretched into the hazy distance. Beyond the waves, large spires of rock rose from the ocean. It was just after sunrise and the sky still had an orange tint near the horizon. The beaming sun briefly poked its head through the clouds, illuminating the whitecaps of the crashing waves like banks of snow on a bluebird day.
I briefly made eye contact with one of the men. He was sitting in a blue Chevy, cigarette hanging from his lips, when I felt his gaze upon me, but he whipped his head back toward the ocean as soon as I began raising my hand to wave.
Down on the beach, I broke into a jog. Skutull followed suit, then grabbed a piece of driftwood and took off, tucking his butt under into a full sprint. The beach was a graveyard of driftwood, some of which originated from root systems and resembled pieces of petrified coral. The sand was rocky, especially in some places. Seaweed, beached jellyfish, and rotting crab shells littered the sand where the ocean extended during high tide.
Giant waves roared and echoed off the seaside cliffs as they crashed into the packed sand of the beach. The terrain along the coast tilted dramatically toward the water; whenever a wave would pull back, I caught a glimpse of how quickly the ground dropped deeper just a few feet into the ocean. These factors joined forces to create a powerful rip current that pulled from the deserted Oregon beach toward the black depths of the ocean.
When we visited this beach for the first time earlier in the week, I took off my shoes and got close enough to the sea for the waves to rush up against my ankles. The frigid water sent goosebumps up my spine. After a particularly large wave crashed, the water line made it halfway up my shins, and when the rip current reversed back toward the ocean, the force was almost strong enough to knock me off balance. While I was researching tsunamis, I read that six inches of water moving at seven miles per hour is enough to knock a grown person to the ground. And that two feet moving at the same speed can easily wash away cars.
I met the sea for the first time when I traveled to Alaska as a kid. I remember our coastal train near Anchorage stopping abruptly to watch a mama grizzly bear and her cubs run across the mud flats exposed in low tide. I remember pieces of ice the size of buildings breaking off of glaciers and crashing into the ocean like grains of sand falling into a glass of water. I remember walking past a massive whale carcass in Barrow, then wading into the ice-spotted Arctic Ocean as I scanned the horizon for polar bears. Most of all, I remember how our tiny fishing boat climbed up and down fifteen foot waves as we exited the Homer harbor and journeyed into the open sea, hoping to catch halibut.
You might have found just what you are looking for with Viking. Certainly child free. (I did see a couple of children the first night of our cruise in the dining room. When I questioned about it, I was told they were the captain's children and since we were overnight in port, they had come on the ship to have dinner but they did not make the cruise.) You might see families but the kids will probably be your age. Viking's target market is 55+ but they don't seem to be infirmed. They appeared to be younger than I thought but I'm in their target and it might just have been my eyes. All the things you mention about food, surroundings, people and enrichment are there. While they have entertainment, think more cabaret style than Broadway extravaganzas. The staff is mainly in their 20's so you will have people your age to interact with. Shore excursion staff and the Explorer's Desk people will probably be of the same mindset as you and the entertainers. Many of these people might be able to point you in the right direction both on board and off for your interests.
