Blue Pacific Youth Initiative
The Blue Pacific Youth Initiative (BPYI) is a network of activities reinforcing Pacific youths’ role as caretakers of their ocean continent and home. Structured around five interwoven pillars, the initiative trains and mobilizes rural Pacific youth to lead their communities toward adaptation and resilience.
The Peace Corps launched the Blue Pacific Youth Initiative in 2023, and its staff and Volunteers spearhead activities in deep collaboration with local, national, and Pacific-wide organizations. The initiative connects and strengthens the many youth environmental activities that are already catalyzing positive change in the Pacific.
