CCJ Fellowship Program Application Open

Posted Mar 10, 2022, by Veronica Coptis

A core focus of our work is to invest in community leaders because we believe people who live the daily impacts of fossil extraction are experts in their lived experiences and should be leading the transition to a healthier environment and thriving economy. We are excited to announce our 2022 Fellowship Program to invest in the growth of our members and supporters.

The fellowship program will employ a cohort of 4-6 fellows for six months (May 15th – Nov15th). There will be four tracks for fellows to gain experience in organizing, outreach, communication, and policy. The fellows will practice what they learn in our active work around fossil fuel extraction, economic transition, and protecting our democracy.

Are you interested in deepening your skills in creating change in your community? Apply today!

The application will close on April 6th.
