Fellowships to advance your work

posted Dec 3, 2009

Two fellowships that cultivate environmental leaders of tomorrow:

Environmental Leadership Program fellowships target emerging environmental and social change practitioners eager to connect their specialized work to larger environmental and social concerns. The Fellowship Program offers an intensive leadership and skill training, regional networking opportunities, and time for personal and professional reflection. Consisting of three retreats and additional optional trainings, our curriculum helps emerging leaders hone their leadership styles, improve their strategic communications, and strengthen their outreach to diverse constituencies.

Applications for ELP's Regional Fellowship Programs are now OPEN. The application deadlines have been updated as follows: • New England Regional Network: February 1, 2010 Eastern Regional Network June 1, 2010
