Kinship Conservation Fellowship





Kinship Conservation Fellows is a ground-breaking environmental leadership program that emphasizes market-based solutions to environmental problems. Kinship's dynamic global network of 210 Fellows in 48 countries and 6 continents is collaborative, entrepreneurial, and dedicated to effective conservation.

The 2015 Program takes place from Sunday, June 28 - Wednesday, July 29, 2015 in Bellingham, Washington. Online applications are open through January 26, 2015.


We're looking for conservation leaders with five years of experience, who are deeply committed to conservation, involved with the implementation of market-based approaches to solve environmental problems, and ready to be part of an expanding community of global leaders.

Kinship Fellows are entrepreneurial and results-oriented. A proposed project describing an environmental issue related to your work and your plans for developing a solution using market approaches will be a key part of your application.

Successful applicants will be familiar with business and economic principles and be in a work environment where these principles can be integrated with conservation work. Eighteen applicants will be selected to participate.

Basic Eligibility Requirements
In order to be considered for the program, applicants will need first to meet the following requirements:
Possess a minimum of a four-year college degree (or its overseas equivalent)
Have a minimum of five years relevant work experience after your degree
Be proficient in spoken and written English
Be a conservation practitioner (rather than an academic or researcher)

Selection Criteria
Applicants who meet the above requirements will be evaluated in the following areas:
Proposed project viability and appropriateness
Leadership potential
Potential contribution to the month-long program and to an ongoing community of leaders
