High School students interested in exploring the poles and polar science, join a group of like minded peers! Our High School Polar Ambassadors Program is engaging students from a diversity of communities and backgrounds to learn about polar science, share their own stories about climate and community and build resources to share more broadly with others. Understanding the polar regions and how they connect to us, influence our lives and are influenced by us, is just the beginning!
