Fellowship Program
The Fellowship program provides students the opportunity to gain real-world experiences working directly on water issues. Since 2010, 50 students have received a total $90,000 in Fellowship educational awards and have spent over 10,000 hours assisting the Clean Water Campaign.
Meet Our Past Fellows!
Fellows gain hands-on experiences working on local conservation issues, training Water Sentinels, and advocating for more sustainable water policies. Fellows also attend, organize, and promote Watershed Action Events through our Stewardship Program.
The
program provides students robust learning opportunities, offer enrichment activities, and develops partnerships with colleges and universities to help students gain educational credit and foster connections between students’ academic experiences and the work of the campaign.
Fellowship Role
Fellows work closely with staff and members to further the goals of the campaign, coordinate service events, as well as water monitoring trainings. They also attend festival and community events to raise awareness about water issues. Additionally, fellows help influence decision makers and collect petitions and advocacy postcards. Fellows also have the opportunity to oversee independent projects within the framework of the campaign. Past fellows have done everything from catalyzing local community action on fracking to presenting to college administrators and influencing their decisions on water related issues.
Prospective Fellows 
Fellows work with their supervising staff member to development a work plan that outlines their goals and responsibilities. Work plans include an educational component that is linked to the academic work the fellow is undertaking. Unfortunately, we are not accepting applications for new fellows at this time.
