With a grant of EUR 5,000 : Apply for the 2025 Restoration Stewards program by Global Landscapes Forum

Do you have youthful dreams of a future where people and landscapes coexist harmoniously?

For the 2025 Restoration Stewards programme, applications are currently being accepted. This is your opportunity to realise your aspirations.

Describe the programme.

A youth programme with a foundation in caring, landscape leadership, diversity, intersectionality, and intergenerational equity is called Restoration Stewards. Initiated in 2020 by the Youth in Landscapes Initiative and the Global Landscapes Forum, its goal is to foster biocultural diversity while assisting youth-led teams in their efforts to restore their landscapes and seascapes in a holistic manner.

The program's four primary elements are funding, mentorship, learning opportunities, and worldwide event showcasing. For a year, Restoration Stewards and their teams get support to help them refine their goals, broaden their influence, and position themselves as local and international advocates for restoration.

The chosen Restoration Stewards will have access to professional and project development opportunities along with expert mentoring. Additionally, they will get a grant of EUR 5,000 to advance their restoration project.

Candidates must comprehend the GLF vision, pillars, and values and be willing to uphold them as well as exemplify them.

possess at least six months of running experience.

Please be aware of this:

Applicants are encouraged to expand on ongoing restoration programmes or initiatives rather than starting from scratch in order to be considered.
It would be beneficial if at least one member in your team is skilled in English, as many of the events and opportunities provided through the program are now in English.
Young women, Indigenous youth, rural youth, and other underrepresented groups and identities are specifically encouraged to apply for this programme by the GLF and YIL.
