Resources for Expedition Alumni
As a volunteer on an Earthwatch Expedition, your work in the field has contributed to the better understanding of our planet. On the frontlines of global change, you've seen the risks facing threatened environments and endangered cultures, something most will never experience. We invite you to share your experiences and knowledge with others as an ambassador of the work you accomplished in the field. On this page, you’ll find resources and tools to celebrate your accomplishments in the field and bring your expedition to life at home.
Talk to your friends and colleagues - give an informal, personal presentation about your expedition experience. We've created a customizable PowerPoint template that makes it easy. Add your photos and information from your expedition to make it your own.
Want to share your presentation with Earthwatch members nearby or arrange a gathering of local Earthwatch members and volunteers? Submit your event to the online Earthwatch Calendar. Advertise your presentation by placing posters at local businesses. Download the poster template and customize it with your event information.
Do you know K-12 teachers or High School students 16 years or older who should know about Earthwatch? Nominate them (pdf) for Earthwatch Fellowships. Download the Fellowship flyer (pdf) and post it in schools to share Earthwatch with teachers and students in your community.
Volunteer with a local, regional, or national organization also working toward a sustainable future.
Communicate with your local news organizations. If you've recently returned from the field, contact your local news organizations to share your story. They are always looking for new items and yours may be one of them. Send a press release, call or email a local reporter - we've taken care of the first step for you by providing do's & don't's, a sample press release, and more.
