The Climate Parent Fellowship is an initiative created by Parents For Future Global and Our Kids’ Climate—two networks bringing parents together to act on climate. The Fellowship is a year-long program and will commence in early January 2024.
Our Kids’ Climate believes all children today and tomorrow should inherit a healthy planet and just world, rooted in renewable energy and built through intergenerational solidarity.
They aim to support and enable effective strategies to advance bold and diverse climate action through a parent, intergenerational, and family friendly lens.
Fellows receive training, mentorship, and a part-time stipend, which aims to make their climate organising work more sustainable. This Fellowship is an opportunity to be part of a supportive and diverse peer-to-peer learning network. Most Fellows are focused on parent-led climate engagement but this Fellowship is also open to non-parent applicants who are focusing on engaging people across generations.
