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.

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.
