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 Environmental 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.

Adults may accompany a youth participant as a paid chaperone. Registration fee includes lunch and all event activities.
