Sustainability Leaders Fellowship Application

The Sustainability Leaders Fellowship hosted by the Office of Sustainability is a two-part program where fellows attend workshops led by community organizers, educators, and experts in the sustainability field across one semester. Students will learn about sustainability topics, develop a toolkit to share sustainability knowledge with their peers, gain leadership skills to galvanize action, and join a network of peer leaders and sustainability professionals in co-creating a climate-neutral campus. After the first semester of workshops, fellows have the option to continue the program for a second semester when they will work individually or in small groups to develop projects that tackle sustainability challenges at NYU.
