Description
The Adventure Canada Young Explorers program, a partnership between Adventure Canada and The Explorers Club, supports the next generation of explorers by providing an opportunity to conduct meaningful, place-based projects during an Arctic expedition. Young researchers, artists, and conservationists (ages 21–30) are selected to join a designated Adventure Canada voyage, where they carry out fieldwork, creative, or cultural projects. The program aims to foster exploration in science, art, and conservation, and encourages both academic and independent projects that align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Selected participants become part of a vibrant community and are expected to serve as ambassadors for both Adventure Canada and The Explorers Club.
