Future Leaders Program Fellowships Overview
Leadership in conservation is a critical piece to solving the ongoing and emerging environmental issues of today. The Aldo Leopold Foundation’s Future Leaders Program (FLP) is designed to provide early career individuals who have dedicated substantial schooling or work experience to the field of conservation the opportunity to gain experience and grow in conservation leadership, applied science and natural history, strategic planning, engagement and communication, land ethics, and social dimensions. They will receive on-the-job experience with the opportunity to dive deeper into a chosen area as a focus of the year.
Future Leaders Program Fellowships specialize in two program areas, Education & Communications or Land Stewardship, though each receives exposure to other program areas and organization-wide efforts. Fellows also have the opportunity to interact with both a diverse range of conservation professionals and the Leopold community, including Leopold family members.
All applicants must be eligible to work in the United States at the time they apply and have a valid driver’s license. Leopold Fellows must commit full-time to the entire 12-month program.
The Aldo Leopold Foundation provides equal employment opportunities (EEO) to all employees and applicants for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law. In addition to federal law requirements, ALF complies with applicable state and local laws governing nondiscrimination in employment. This policy applies to all terms and conditions of employment, including recruiting, hiring, placement, promotion, termination, layoff, recall, transfer, leaves of absence, compensation, and training.
