2026-27 Cohort

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

The 2026-27 fellowship is designed for all passionate COE staff who are in a position to create actionable plans for advancing environmental literacy, sustainability or climate resilient schools within the work of a COE. Participants may apply as an individual or as a team. Teams can include folks from multiple departments within a COE, such as early childhood education, health and wellness staff, curriculum and instruction, expanded learning, career technical education (CTE), emergency services, business and facilities, and county agencies who work in partnership with COEs. Applicants who serve students who have previously lacked access to environment-based learning experiences are encouraged to apply.
