More About the Fellowship


Our program equips both community members and state and municipal staff with essential skills in collaborative decision-making, conflict resolution, meeting design, and facilitation. Participants also receive critical training in climate resilience and anti-racism practices. Over the course of the fellowship, cohort members complete 120 hours of training, earn a mediation certificate, receive ten hours of personalized coaching, and build important relationships with local planners and community members intending to employ individuals in climate resilience efforts. 
Our program is open to community organizers, local and state employees, and leaders of community-based organizations interested in facilitating community engagement and collaborative decision-making within their climate-impacted community or municipality. This fellowship is co-designed and run by Habitus Cooperative and StarLuna Consulting and made possible by funding from the Barr Foundation.
