Today is Social Mobility Day, something that Sea-Changers are keen to champion in the marine conservation and not for profit sector.
From the financial cost of learning to dive to the time commitment of voluntary work experience, the marine conservation sector is not super inclusive from a social mobility perspective.
This is why we love projects that increase accessibility by…
- Helping people who have never visited the coast before to learn about the sea by bringing them to the sea, or bringing the sea to them
- Funded programs for people from underrepresented backgrounds who want to gain experience in science
- Making it physically easier to access the beach with equipment and clothing
Because for us to protect our seas, we need to have all hands on deck and push the boundaries of what is possible 🙌
This Social Mobility Day, what is one thing you can do to move along your organisation’s or personal social mobility story? (Hint, here are some ideas: review a barrier to taking part, have a conversation about it to hear different perspectives or read an article about it)
