The Center for Collaborative Conservation Fellows Program

The Center for Collaborative Conservation’s Fellows Program provides funding and training to students, faculty, and practitioners who use a collaborative approach to help communities improve their livelihoods and achieve conservation goals. Our growing network of Fellows stays connected to the CCC and their cohort during and after the fellowship for lifelong friendship and learning. For a comprehensive view of our program, check out our CCC Fellows Program 10-year review: Assessment of impacts.

We are currently seeking graduate students, faculty, and practitioners interested in receiving funding to plan and implement an on-the-ground project, delve into the practice of collaborative conservation, and join a community of practice.  

Sound interesting? Then consider applying to be part of the Collaborative Conservation Fellows Program! Fellows learn and apply the practices that are the hallmark of successful collaborative conservation. They also become part of our growing network of Fellows, staying connected to their cohort and the CCC for lifelong friendship and learning.
