MINDANAO SEA CAMP 2019 (YSEALI) , Philippines

Date - 

Calling all Mindanao-based seatizens! Save Philippine Seas (SPS), in partnership with the U.S. Embassy in the Philippines, is pleased to announce the call for applications for the 2019 Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative (YSEALI) Mindanao Sea and Earth Advocates (SEA) Camp!

The 2019 YSEALI Mindanao SEA Camp seeks civic-minded, environmentally-passionate Filipino leaders to create and implement solutions that address environmental sustainability issues in Mindanao. The program will bring together 25 youth leaders who are living, working, or studying in Mindanao, ages 18-23, from April 23 to 30, 2019 in Puerto Galera, Oriental Mindoro. There will also be five (5) slots open to youth based in Mindoro (Occidental and Oriental). All expenses related to transportation, accommodations, and materials will be covered by the project.

The YSEALI Mindanao SEA Camp is a U.S. Embassy initiative to promote ocean conservation and youth leadership. “The U.S. Embassy is proud to support the 5th year of the SEA Camp,” said Assistant Cultural Affairs Officer Ryan Bradeen. “The SEA Camp has empowered nearly 250 youth from the Philippines and all over Southeast Asia. The alumni have been the program’s best success indicators, pioneering sustainability campaigns and projects in their own communities.”

Applicants from all academic and social backgrounds are encouraged to apply (e.g., communications, arts, social science, natural sciences, engineering, public health, law, etc.). They must exhibit a track record of leadership, volunteerism, and participation in socio-civic activities. A leadership role in environmental projects or organizations is preferred but not necessary.
