Our remote, paid student fellowship follows the traditional academic calendar, running this year from August 2022 to May 2023. The fellowship supports student activists as they seek to make change on their campus through an elimination of synthetic herbicides and a transition to organic land management. Upon entering the fellowship, students are provided with resources, live trainings, and one-on-one coaching sessions to build and maintain their on-campus campaign. Through our innovative fellowship, students gain valuable skills that can be applied to future environmental, social, and political activism efforts. 

ANNOUNCEMENT: Fellowship applications are now closed! If you would like to join an existing campaign or want more information, please email hello@herbicidefreecampus.org
