About the Organization

Our Kids’ Climate is an anchor organization, connecting national and grassroots groups and supporting hundreds of leaders from more than 50 countries to develop parent-led, family-friendly, intergenerational organizing and engagement strategies.

We believe all children today and tomorrow should inherit a healthy planet and just world, rooted in renewable energy and built through intergenerational solidarity.

About the Fellowship

Across the world, parents, grandparents, and caregivers are taking climate action to protect the kids they love, children everywhere, and our shared home.

Our Climate Parent Fellowship aims to support key organizers of parent-led, intergenerational, or family-focused climate engagement work across the globe.

Since 2021, we have supported 41 organizers from 25 countries through our year-long Fellowship program. We have supported campaigners, grassroots organizers, communicators, indigenous leaders, artists, and educators to grow and develop their climate work.

For our 2025 cohort, we are looking for leaders within a parent-led, intergenerational, or family-focused climate project, group, organization, strategy, or idea. Our Fellows will be the core drivers and key decision-makers of the climate initiative they are working on, which will have the capacity to grow, be replicated or scaled.

We are particularly interested in candidates who are working on some of Our Kids’ Climate strategic campaign priorities, such as clean air, fossil fuel phase-out, and a fast and fair transition to renewable energy. However, as in other cohorts, we anticipate our 2025 Fellows to be approaching parent-led, intergenerational, or family-focused climate work in a diverse variety of ways. We are also interested in supporting some Fellows engaged around COP30.

Benefits:

Fellows will take part in monthly training sessions, receive mentorship, and a stipend of between $15,000 – $20,000 USD, which aims to make their climate organizing work more sustainable.
