Deadline: 08-Mar-22
Applications are now open for the Climate Parent Fellowship to support, connect, and amplify climate parent organizers as they grow their creative ideas, campaigns, and projects and contribute to the emerging climate-parent movement.
Fellows receive training, mentorship, and a part-time stipend, which aims to make their climate organizing work more sustainable. The Fellowship also acts as a peer-to-peer learning network.
Fellows are people who are playing a significant role in the climate parent movement or they are bringing in a new idea or concept with strong potential to strengthen the climate parent movement.
Funding Information
Selected Fellows will be awarded a part-time stipend to help carry out their work for this 12 month Fellowship program. This amount will vary depending on the country based on a cost of living comparison, but will be equivalent to $20,000 USD for US and European Fellows. (Please note: The fellowship stipend is intended to fund part of the Fellow’s time and efforts during the one year period. It is not equivalent to a full-time salary.)
Who they will now fund?
This Fellowship has been set up to strengthen parent-climate organizing and to increase the funding flowing into parent-climate groups with the aim of growing the whole community of parent-climate engagement. They won’t fund individuals who:
- Are not focused on climate-parent organizing, intergenerational, and family-focused climate organizing.
- Are already working for a well-funded organization or have access to major funds and resources. If your group or organization has 2 (or 3) full time employees working on parent-led climate engagement this Fellowship is probably not for you.
- Are not currently working in partnership or collaboration with others at the local, national, and/or international levels.
- Can’t commit time to developing their group, organization, project, or idea throughout the year, and to participate in the global cohort activities.
Eligibility Criteria
- This is a global Fellowship. Candidates from all countries are eligible to apply. They particularly welcome applicants from diverse backgrounds and expect that at least half of the Fellows appointed will be from the Global South. They’d also encourage applications from people with diverse backgrounds in the Global North.
- This Fellowship is an opportunity for individuals; it is not open to group applications. Where there are several people from a single group or organization interested in the Fellowship they highly encourage groups to discuss, select and nominate one person per organization.
