Region(s): Nationwide

Type(s): competitions, experiences

Through BLAKE’s partnerships with Earth Science NZ (formerly NIWA and GNS Science), Department of Conservation (DOC), University of Waikato, and Antarctica New Zealand, 11 young New Zealanders will be given the opportunity to take part in these important science and conservation projects.

Placed in remote locations around Aotearoa New Zealand, the BLAKE Ambassadors programme offers unique opportunities to young people to contribute to important projects while advancing their career opportunities.

Each programme is designed to both advance BLAKE Ambassadors’ understanding of some of the big questions and challenges facing the environment and develop their leadership capability to drive positive change and inspire other New Zealanders.
