FULLY FUNDED: Apply for this Youth Interfaith Leaders Fellowship on Climate Change (Funded to USA)

Faith For Our Planet, in collaboration with Duke University's renowned Divinity School, has introduced an exciting new program aimed at young leaders who care about climate change from all over the world. Whether you're a religious leader, a climate activist, a newcomer in a faith-based organization, or a recent graduate, as long as you're eager to learn how to unite faith communities in the fight against climate change, this program is for you.

This fully funded, week-long residential fellowship at Duke University offers an invaluable opportunity for young individuals who are environmentally conscious and come from diverse faith backgrounds to join a global network of religious leaders engaged in climate action.

During the fellowship, participants will attend expert lectures, interactive sessions, policy dialogues, and vocational training. They will explore various themes and develop essential skills to create meaningful faith-based climate action projects for their communities. The curriculum will be delivered by distinguished specialists in theology, climate change, policy, media, and sustainable development.

Fellows will gain knowledge in areas such as the relationship between religious beliefs, environmental awareness, and climate action, understanding the political and economic aspects of climate change through systems thinking, project planning, community mobilization, strategic communications, and climate advocacy with community outreach.

Upon completing the program, fellows will become part of the FFOP Fellowship Alumni Association, opening up opportunities to participate in FFOP's regional events, climate campaigns, and interfaith initiatives.

Please note that all travel, visa, accommodation, and subsistence costs will be covered by Faith For Our Planet.
