The Youth Ocean Conservation Summit (YOCS) is an all-day event to inspire, empower, and enable local Hampton Roads youth, catered to ages 11-19, to develop action plans to help with ocean conservation. This year's YOCS's theme is climate justice. Participants will generate action plans that may be used in the community, learn about Aquarium volunteer opportunities and be a part of the next generation of environmental stewards by gaining the space and skills to be more environmentally conscious.

When signing up, choose two breakout sessions in order of preference. Adults may accompany a youth participant as a paid chaperone.

Sponsored by the Floyd E. Kellam, Jr. Family Fund of the Hampton Roads Community Foundation.

Breakout Sessions

Attendees will select two sessions to participate in. Chaperones must indicate they are a chaperone and input both their own information and their youth attendee's.
