Description
The Kinship Conservation Fellows
is an environmental leadership program that emphasizes market-based solutions
to environmental problems. Kinship's global network of a hundred and ninety-one
fellows in forty-seven countries and six continents is collaborative,
entrepreneurial, and dedicated to effective conservation.
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 involving interactive discussions,
system-thinking exercises, and peer-learning sessions to evaluate market-driven
conservation practices. Each week, new cases are introduced that build across
three areas — leadership, communication, and business and finance principles.
How to effectively measure impact will further integrate curriculum across each
of these areas.
Each fellow
receives a $6,000 stipend and lodging for one month.
The 2014
fellowship is based in Bellingham, Washington, and runs from June 29 to July
30, 2014.
