ABOUT THE FELLOWSHIP

The ELP Fellowship is an innovative national program designed to build the leadership capacity of the environmental field's most promising emerging professionals from the United States, U.S. Territories, and Freely Associated States. We define emerging professionals as individuals who are relatively new to the environmental field with approximately three to ten years of experience. We define "environmental" broadly to include public health, transportation policy and planning, economic development, and broad-based community organizing.

Each year, a new group of fellows is chosen to join the ELP community of U.S. environmental professionals from diverse backgrounds, sectors, and areas of expertise. The two-year fellowship offers unique networking opportunities, intensive leadership and skills training, project seed money, support, and time for personal and professional reflection. Fellows join a community of diverse emerging leaders, and have the opportunity to meet established environmental practitioners and experts in the field. Fellows receive travel and accommodations for four fellowship retreats; access to funding for leadership-building projects; and national recognition through the program. The ELP Fellowship provides an opportunity for talented individuals to have a unique and substantial impact on the environmental movement through collaboration with other emerging leaders.
