Expeditions for Teenagers

You've seen the news and maybe studied it in class: the planet's in trouble. Entire species and ecosystems could vanish forever if people of all ages don't take action now. Earthwatch knows that teens like you will be leaders of change. We want to put you in the field where you can make a difference - for the health of the planet, and for yourself.

Earthwatch's scientists and local partners need you with them in the field to figure out the best ways to protect endangered natural and cultural resources.

Teenagers aged 16 or 17 are eligible for Earthwatch Teen Teams. Click here for more info about the Teen Teams experience.

18 or over? You can join adult expeditions. Click here.
