BLAKE Ambassadors Programme
Applications for the 2024/2025 BLAKE Ambassadors Programme are CLOSED.
Through BLAKE’s partnerships with NIWA, the Department of Conservation (DOC), University of Waikato, Antarctica New Zealand and GNS Science, 10 young New Zealanders will be given the opportunity to take part in these important science and conservation projects.
Placed in remote locations around 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.
Applications for the 2024/2025 BLAKE Ambassadors programme are now closed. Applications closed at midnight 4th August.
