Applications for Liberty Hill’s Environmental Leadership Initiative are due November 3rd—help us spread the word! Now in its third cohort, this immersive fellowship is designed to empower leaders from diverse backgrounds whose passion and diligence drive positive change in their communities and advance Environmental Justice.

We invite all applicants—including dedicated organizers, activists, artists, cultural bearers, land stewards and educators from BIPOC and immigrant communities, Native California and tribal communities, and geographically diverse regions across the state—who are leading critical work in their communities to apply.

Through this two-year immersive program, participants will deepen their understanding of Environmental Justice principles, engage in collective movement-building work, and develop the skills necessary to create lasting impact through a combination of learning modules, collaborative projects, mentorship opportunities and networking, as well as personalized coaching.
