At EarthShare Texas, we strive to support environmental nonprofits that are making meaningful change in our communities. For the last 30 years, we have provided unrestricted funding to our members to empower their work, and now we offer a nuanced solution to address nonprofit capacity constraints.
The difference between a fellow and an intern: Green Leaders Fellows are already leaders in their fields and communities. They will act as project managers or consultants to your team.
EarthShare Texas will find the right fellow for your project. We received over 60 applications in 2023 and are looking forward to another talented pool of applicants in 2024.
Fellows execute projects with measurable impact over the 12-week program. See the results of their work first-hand at the graduation and presentation ceremony in April, 2025!
Participating nonprofits receive comprehensive training from our program partner, Mission Capital, as a part of our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Green Leaders Fellows participate in a variety of workshops throughout the program, including professional communications, project management training, and presentation delivery.
You, your team, and your fellow will be invited to numerous networking opportunities throughout the fellowship to help foster meaningful connections and collaboration.
EarthShare Texas proposes a nuanced solution that addresses Green Workforce constraints while building the green leadership pipeline. The goal of the Green Leaders Fellowship is to foster a vibrant and diverse Green Workforce that will lead Texas in sustainable development, creating a positive impact in our communities and throughout our state. Nonprofits are encouraged to apply with a specific and impactful project that fellows can complete during their time as a Green Leaders Fellow.
The EarthShare Texas Green Leaders Fellowship was born from the City of Austin’s Green Workforce Accelerator, and continues to be inspired by successful partner programs.
When you host a Green Leaders Fellow at your organization, you become an integral part of their green career journey. Not only will they increase capacity for your organization, you will have a lasting impact on their professional development. We ask all nonprofit hosts to commit to:
Are you currently a member of ESTX? If yes, then all you have to do is apply for the Green Leaders Fellowship Spring 2025 Cohort. H-E-B has generously donated over $150,000 to fund 8 nonprofit projects and fellows. ESTX members have the opportunity to participate in the Fellowship program at no cost to the nonprofit thanks to their generation contribution.
If your organization is NOT a current member of EarthShare Texas, you can still apply with a project proposal. However, your organization must cover the full cost of the program, and be a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit with a green mission.
