Our Junior Activists come from all over the globe from Spain to Singapore and South Africa and from New Zealand to the Netherlands. Every year, since the Juniors was launched in 2010, we reach more and more young people with messages about ocean conservation and protection.
The Juniors page on facebook is the place where young people can share their thoughts as well as their photos and art. It’ s where Ally Banks and Natalie Borghardt, who look after the Juniors, keep everyone up to date with what Pete, Earthrace and all the inspirational young people we know get up to.
