At Ocean Discovery Institute, we leverage local and national resources and relationships by building strategic collaborations. These partnerships enable us to maximize our dollars and reach more youth with stronger programs throughout the year. Collaborations are facilitated at three levels (Impact, Innovation, Discovery) based on the breadth and timescale of the relationship.
