Climate Leaders Fellowship

Join a global network of high school students committed to identifying and solving local climate challenges through innovative community projects. 

The Climate Leaders Fellowship is a leadership development program provided by Rustic Pathways in collaboration with the Stanford University Deliberative Democracy Lab and the Rustic Pathways Foundation.

Climate Leaders Fellowship connects high school students across the globe to work together to identify and address climate impact opportunities in their local neighborhoods. Fellows work together, bond, and complete capstone projects over the course of 12 weeks. 

Upon successful completion of their projects, select fellows may be invited to attend a global Summit. The 2024 Summer Climate Leaders Fellowship Summit was held in Antigua, Guatemala.  

Dates: October 10 – December 9, 2025
Deadline to apply: September 21, 2025
Cost: Pay What You Want

Accepted Fellows will:

• Design and implement a volunteer project in your community aimed to reduce the impact and harms of climate change.

• Be placed into a cohort with other like-minded high school students from across the world working on the same project. This means you’ll get to collaborate with other Fellows in your cohort while retaining the ability to customize and personalize your individual project based on your local community’s needs.

• Get support from a cohort facilitator from Stanford or Rustic Pathways, who will provide guidance, answer questions, and coordinate virtual collaboration opportunities via Zoom meetings, email, and/or messaging.
