Additional Information

Comments Fellowships provide month-long, in-residence programming delivered by a faculty of global experts who work closely with each cohort of fellows. Fellows attend dynamic sessions, participate in collaborative and independent projects, and enjoy a rich, multifaceted experience. In addition, fellows have the opportunity to work directly with principles and practices that can improve the way we interpret and respond to complex environmental conservation problems. Kinship's curriculum uses a case study approach to directly experience and evaluate market-driven conservation practices through expert-led interactive discussions, systems-thinking exercises, role-play, skills practice, peer-learning sessions, and field visits that provide the opportunity to work directly with principles and practices to improve how practitioners interpret and respond to complex environmental conservation problems. Each fellow will receive a $6,000 stipend and lodging for one month. A key part of the Fellows application is a proposed project describing an environmental issue related to the applicant's work and the plans to develop a solution using market approaches. Successful applicants will be familiar with business and economic principles and work in a setting where these principles can be integrated with conservation work. 18 applicants are selected to participate in the training program. In order to be considered for the program, applicants must meet the following requirements: Possess a minimum of a four-year U.S. college degree (or its equivalent). Have a minimum of five years relevant work experience, after completing a degree. Be proficient in spoken and written English. Be a conservation practitioner (rather than an academic or researcher).
