Apply Now for 2011 Kinship Conservation Fellows
Applications close January 24, 2011 for the 6/28/11 – 7/29/11 program.
Kinship Conservation Fellows is an environmental leadership program that provides a $6,000 stipend and a month-long workshop on developing market-based solutions to environmental problems.
“Kinship Conservation Fellows is for those who are ready to put theory into practice. We take the tools of the marketplace – economics, business planning, finance – to create real-world solutions to a wide range of environmental threats,” states Kinship Conservation Fellows Director Jim Tolisano. To date, 154 individuals representing 40 countries and 6 continents have been selected as Kinship Fellows.
Applicants submit a detailed project description which serve as case studies throughout the month-long workshop. These specific projects are examined in the context of theoretical economic, finance, and business concepts in practical and applied examples. The goal is to prepare for a successful implementation of the project upon returning to the field. "Kinship’s tailored hands-on and applied approach sets it apart as a program uniquely committed to investing in the specific challenges that Fellows face, which in turn strengthens organizations and the conservation community as a whole."
The 2011 Kinship Conservation Fellows program will take place on the campus of Western Washington University in Bellingham, Washington from June 28th through July 29th, 2011.
