Applications are now being accepted for the 2024-2026 cohort of the Dr. Roger Arliner Young (RAY) Fellowship Program. This program, which is managed by Environmental Leadership Program (ELP), is a two-year paid fellowship that provides recent college graduates from historically marginalized groups with career opportunities, tools, and support to become leaders in the conservation and clean energy sectors.
This program consists of two cohorts
- RAY Conservation Fellows are placed within a “Conservation Member Organization” for a two-year paid fellowship position, with the resources and support to develop experiences that will launch them onto a path of career growth in conservation.
- RAY Clean Energy Fellows are placed within a “Clean Energy Member Organization” for a similar two-year paid fellowship position, with similar resources and support to develop experiences that will launch them onto a path of career growth in energy-efficiency or renewable energy.
You can view a list of fellowship placements here.
All Fellows work with mentors, grow their networks, and forge lasting relationships within and between the Conservation and Clean Energy cohorts of Fellows. RAY Fellowship positions are full-time paid positions with competitive entry-level salaries plus benefits. All Fellows will also receive a stipend of $1,000 to go towards professional development opportunities, in addition to coordinated professional development through RAY Partner Organizations and ELP.
