Who is SOI?

 

 

SOI is an award-winning organization in youth engagement and polar education. For the past 20 years, our mission has been to contribute to a healthy and sustainable future by providing a platform for learning, and for ideas and cross-cultural collaboration to flourish. Expeditions to the Arctic and Antarctic is our flagship program. Through immersive learning journeys and a global network of professional development opportunities, we connect youth to nature and foster in them the inspiration and leadership skills to serve tomorrow.

The current COVID environment has changed the lives of many, and for SOI, our expedition program is on hold. However, our work to inspire youth, and to provide opportunities for connection, understanding and collaboration on the most pressing issues facing our planet is more important than ever!
