Friends

I-SEA works with a number of organizations to help further our mission.

Sitka Foundation

We’re pleased to support the Future Ecologies Podcast with the help of the Sitka Foundation. The Foundation is also generously supporting the National Youth Climate Activism Award this year- we are SO grateful!

The Sitka Foundation is a private Canadian family foundation. Founded by Ross and Trisha Beaty in 2008, it has evolved in size and scope since inception. It began by supporting organizations close to their hearts and communities here in the Pacific Northwest, but have since become active both nationally and globally.

Take a Stand Youth for Conservation

Take a Stand (TAS) and I-SEA have formed a partnership to collaborate on courageous youth climate action. The aim of TAS is to inspire, motivate and empower youth to protect and conserve the environment through art, film, and youth-driven actions. Youth represent honest and powerful voices for social change in their communities and are important advocates for better protection of plants, animals, and the natural communities they call home.

The TAS-I-SEA collaboration is already underway with our joint support of Arian Tomar’s Youth Climate Mentorship Program and with the reciprocal prize sponsorship of our organizations’ two youth contests – the Student Innovation Challenge Contest and the Youth Climate Activism Award.

Climate Access

Climate Access is a “network of networks” that provides climate communications practitioners with access to the necessary tools, knowledge and people to increase public support for action on climate. As a bridge between research and action, ClimateAccess fosters collaboration and facilitates peer-to-peer exchanges of information on climate communications, public engagement and behaviour change.
