Our Mission

At The WAVE Coalition, our mission is to spark meaningful change for animals, the environment, and future generations through a blend of science, advocacy, creativity, and education. We believe that people and communities should feel empowered to not only care about the animals and their ecosystems but also give them the skills to pursue their career aspirations in the environmental science fields and other STEM fields. By connecting people with hands-on opportunities in the field, whether underwater, in a lab, or in a local habitat, we are nurturing a generation of compassionate leaders and changemakers.

Our Vision

Looking ahead, our vision is to create a future where people and nature thrive together in harmony. We aim to be a catalyst for curiosity, compassion, and innovation, empowering individuals and communities to take meaningful action for the planet. Through collaboration, education, and bold thinking, we envision a world where environmental stewardship is second nature and every voice has the power to make a difference.

Strategic Plan 2026-2028

Check out our strategic plan for 2026-2028, where we put more focus on funding strategies as our first 8 months of building comes to a close. WAVE is excited to hit the ground running, and we are focusing on 3 large projects for these first 2 full years of WAVE being a nonprofit. While doing this, we are excited to get creative in our fundraising strategies and find more consistent income through merchandising.
