🌿 Environmental Fellows Program (EFP)
The Environmental Fellows Program is a 12-week paid summer fellowship for master’s and doctoral students from historically underrepresented groups in the environmental field. EFP fellows gain hands-on experience with leading environmental nonprofits, philanthropic organizations, and government agencies across the United States, building professional networks and leadership skills to advance equity in the environmental sector.
🌎 Yale Conservation Scholars – Early Leadership Initiative (YCS-ELI)
The Yale Conservation Scholars – Early Leadership Initiative is a paid summer program for undergraduate students from diverse backgrounds, with a focus on those historically excluded from environmental institutions.
