NOAA's Young Changemakers Fellowship (YCF)
Internship
Location of Opportunity
With support from NOAA, participating students design and carry out an action project to address an ocean or environmental issue in their home community and share their perspectives with NOAA on important ocean and environmental issues.
Applications are now open for our next cohort of changemakers! Each of the 15 high school students selected for this opportunity will:
- Travel to D.C. for a fellowship kick-off summit involving hands-on workshops, discussions with government officials, and opportunities to get to know the other members of the cohort (all expenses will be covered for both the changemaker and one accompanying parent / legal guardian).
- Join virtual monthly meetings to build changemaking skills and share project progress and challenges.
- Match with a NOAA mentor who will assist one-on-one with project planning and offer advice on post-high school career paths.
- Be eligible for up to $750 in funding for project implementation.
- Receive a $800 stipend for full fellowship completion.
