The Green Fellows Programme invites emerging leaders committed to advancing sustainability through education, advocacy, and community action. The February 2027 cohort seeks changemakers from around the world who are ready to turn knowledge into meaningful, measurable impact. It is an action-oriented fellowship: fellows are expected to apply what they learn, pass sustainability knowledge to younger generations, and demonstrate impact in schools and communities.

What is expected of fellows?

• Learn: attend all designated fellowship conferences, take part actively in learning activities, and complete the compulsory Massive Open Online Course (MOOC).
• Educate: establish and nurture an Officially Green Club in a primary or secondary school, with at least 20 young students.
• Advocate: promote the seven Officially Green pledges through social media and community engagement using #OfficiallyGreen.
• Demonstrate impact: document activities and submit brief reports or evidence of progress and results.

Deadline: January 7, 2027 at 4:00 p.m. GMT. Applicants will be notified by email during the first week of February 2027.

No previous sustainability experience is required. Note: the certificate is awarded on completing all fellowship requirements; selection alone does not guarantee it.

• Be between 18 and 35 years old at the application deadline.
• Demonstrate a genuine commitment to sustainability and environmental action.
• Be committed to passing sustainability knowledge to the next generation through an Officially Green Club.
• Be available to attend all designated conferences and participate actively.

• US$1,000 Grand Prize: one fellow who fulfils all requirements and demonstrates documented impact may receive a post-fellowship award to support the continuation or expansion of the Educators Initiative. It is conditional on full compliance and demonstrated results; selection alone does not guarantee funding.
