YECAP SHAKERS FELLOWSHIP

YECAP Shakers Fellowship 2024

Shakers Fellowship is a 3-month capacity building programme for youth climate leaders in Asia-Pacific. The fellowship will provide capacity-building on community mobilization, resources mobilization, team building, communications, LNOB and gender equality, foster collaborative networks among Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), and equip CSOs leaders with tools and curriculums to expand their climate advocacy.

Why should you apply?

Build Leadership Skills: Join a cohort of 30 youth climate leaders and enhance your leadership skills through comprehensive training and peer-to-peer learning.
Expand Your Network: Gain access to a vibrant community of youth-led climate CSOs, networks, and communities across the Asia-Pacific region.
Participate in Global and Regional Events: As a fellow, you'll have the opportunity to showcase your climate projects on global and regional platforms!
The YECAP Shakers Fellowship emphasizes inclusivity, encouraging young women, underrepresented groups, and previous YECAP cohort members to apply, ensuring diverse voices are heard in the climate action space.

What's next? Upon completing the Fellowship, Fellows will receive an official YECAP certificate and recognition for their active participation and contributions throughout the programme. They will also remain part of a supportive cohort of 30 youth climate leaders who are passionate about climate action and have led climate projects at local, national, and regional levels.
