Lead Green People

Fellowships

The TogetherGreen Conservation Leadership Program invests in high-potential leaders, providing them with the tools, resources, visibility, and a peer network to help them lead the conservation actions needed to shape a greener, healthier future.

Each year 40 promising and proven leaders (half from within Audubon and half from outside groups) receive a $10,000 grant, assistance launching a conservation action project, and all-expenses paid specialized training.

Read below about the new class of Fellows and what they will do to protect habitat, wildlife and water and save energy in the year ahead.
