Fellowship Grant Program

Funding & Mentorship for Emerging Youth Environmental Projects

If you care about environmental issues and want to make a difference in your community, we invite you to participate in the Fellowship Grant Program! The Fellowship is an initiative created and led by the Future Blue Youth Council (FBYC), a diverse group of Bow Seat alumni working together to empower their peers to advocate for a healthy, sustainable, and equitable future. 

The Fellowship Grant Program provides mentorship and funding of up to $2,500 to youth who are developing projects that address environmental challenges in their local communities.

Projects may be of any duration, as long as they meet the Fellowship goals:

educate-good
