Deadline: September 6, 2024
Applications are open for the Climate Parent Fellowship 2025. Across the world, parents, grandparents, and caregivers are taking climate action to protect the kids they love, children everywhere, and our shared home. The Climate Parent Fellowship aims to support key organizers of parent-led, intergenerational, or family-focused climate engagement work across the globe.
Since 2021, they have supported 41 organizers from 25 countries through their year-long Fellowship program. They have supported campaigners, grassroots organizers, communicators, indigenous leaders, artists, and educators to grow and develop their climate work.
For the 2025 cohort, they are looking for leaders within a parent-led, intergenerational, or family-focused climate project, group, organization, strategy, or idea. Their Fellows will be the core drivers and key decision-makers of the climate initiative they are working on, which will have the capacity to grow, be replicated or scaled.
They are particularly interested in candidates who are working on some of Our Kids’ Climate strategic campaign priorities, such as clean air, fossil fuel phase-out, and a fast and fair transition to renewable energy. However, as in other cohorts, they anticipate the 2025 Fellows to be approaching parent-led, intergenerational, or family-focused climate work in a diverse variety of ways. They are also interested in supporting some Fellows engaged around COP30.
Benefits
- Fellows will take part in monthly training sessions, receive mentorship, and a stipend of between $15,000 – $20,000 USD, which aims to make their climate organizing work more sustainable.
