Dear SCB North America Members,
Please see the following opportunity for young conservationists, courtesy of Coalition Wild:
We are thrilled to announce that applications for the eighth edition of our flagship EXCELerator program opened last Friday, November 1. Below, you'll find more details about the program:
Program Details
- What is the EXCELerator Program? The EXCELerator program is a six-month leadership and capacity-building initiative designed to help youth implement projects that drive lasting change in their communities or environments. You can learn more HERE.
- Who is it for? The program is open to youth aged 35 or younger who have a project idea that they wish to implement or scale up.
- When will the program take place? The program will run from January 2025 to June 2025.
- Program Details: Participation in the EXCELerator program is fully virtual and free of charge. Participants can choose from two tracks based on their needs, expectations, and availability:
- EXCELerator LIVE: For participants who want to actively develop and enhance their projects within the six-month timeframe. This track requires availability for live sessions every two weeks, on Thursdays from 12:30 to 14:00 UTC.
- EXCELerator FLEX: Ideal for those who prefer to work on their projects at their own pace. This track is perfect for participants with limited availability or those who prefer asynchronous learning.
- Application Period: The application window is open from November 1 to November 29, and you can access the application form HERE.
How You Can Support Us?
- Spread the Word: Share the application call with your networks! You can use the text, infographics, and visuals available in our MEDIA KIT, or repost our social media updates.
- Nominations: We're seeking young environmental changemakers who would benefit from the EXCELerator LIVE program. If you know anyone in your network who has the availability and drive to complete the program, we welcome your nominations. Nominated individuals will receive priority for selection in the 2025 EXCELerator LIVE program.
Your support is invaluable in helping us reach potential participants worldwide. We truly appreciate your help in spreading the word. If you have any questions or need more details about the program, feel free to contact me by replying to this email or at fatima@coalitionwild.org.
Thank you!
