clouddog™ aims to open up the broader world of conservation and environment to a group of carefully selected students who might not otherwise have the exposure.

A period of practical work experience alongside experts in the field, coupled with wilderness trails and community based projects in southern Africa will aim to increase their knowledge and awareness of conservation and the environment and potentially shape their future educational and career considerations.

clouddog™ is structured to work across geographical borders with the collaboration of the JP Morgan UK and South African offices. It is designed to offer the opportunity to a total of 12 students between the ages of 16-18 years. This age group, on the brink of important life choices, is where we believe the greatest impact could be made.
