YES Network Namibia was founded in 2009 by a group of young geoscientists driven by a shared purpose to use science for good. Inspired by the International Year of Planet Earth, we set out to create a space where early-career scientists could connect, collaborate, and contribute to solving real-world challenges.
Since then, we’ve grown into an amazing community of students, researchers, and professionals working together to make a difference. From promoting research and environmental awareness to mentorship, we’re passionate about using geoscience to build a more sustainable and resilient future.
At YES Network Namibia, we’re more than just an organization, we’re a growing community of young earth scientists working together to learn, lead, and make a difference. Whether you're just starting out or looking to make an impact, this is where your journey in geoscience finds purpose and support.
At YES Network Namibia, we believe science should serve society. That’s why we’re building a community where young geoscientists can grow and use their skills to make real impact in classrooms, communities, and the environment. Whether you're a student, educator, or early-career professional, there’s a place for you here.

Our projects bring geoscience to life across Namibia, from hands-on workshops for teachers, to exciting outreach programs that make earth science fun for students.
At YES Network Namibia, we believe the strength of our community comes from the connections we nurture. By bringing together students, educators, organizations and early-career professionals, we create a space where ideas thrive, mentorship grows, and collaboration leads to meaningful solutions. Our network builds lasting relationships that support personal and professional growth at every stage.
Beyond individual development, our community shares a deep commitment to addressing Namibia’s environmental and societal challenges. Through collective action, research initiatives, and outreach programs, we work together to build a sustainable future, one where earth science drives positive change for generations to come.
In geoscience, technical knowledge is essential but it’s only part of the equation. To succeed and stand out as a young earth scientist, developing strong soft skills is just as important.
This guide breaks down those barriers into simple, practical steps to help you get your work published confidently and successfully.
