Fellowship Program

The PA IPL Fellow program is designed for undergraduate students looking for learning opportunities in the following areas: environment education, conservation, and advocacy; interfaith organizing; and nonprofit skills. The program offers a competitive hourly wage ($20/hour, monthly paycheck), with agreed on hours during the semester (20/month, total 80 for each semester the program is offered). Work can be performed remotely with a flexible schedule.

Fellows can expect mentoring, professional development opportunities, and monthly peer calls. Focus tracks are offered within the program and include: environmental education, interfaith organizing, fundraising, and communications. They should bring a willingness to approach their work with a prioritization of environmental justice, climate advocacy, and intersectional policy.

We encourage folks from all backgrounds (race/ethnicity, orientation, religion, culture, work experience, etc.) to apply. Our small team carries a variety of identities that shape our organization’s culture and practice. We as an organization are always striving to grow in diversity, equity, inclusion, & justice, guided by the Jemez Principles for Organizing.
