Take your leadership skills to the next level.
We’re looking for conservation leaders with five years of experience, who are deeply committed to conservation, interested in learning about using market 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 have at least some exposure to 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.
