SustainUS is offering emerging young leaders an opportunity to develop their leadership skills and get their ideas off the ground to enable a more economically, environmentally, and socially just future. The Lead Now Fellowship is a new youth-led fellowship program to support people age 13-26. Fellows will be awarded $1,000 and provided with trainings, mentorship, and opportunities to help them make their project ideas take off. Projects might range from innovative community initiatives to statewide campaigns to projects with an international reach.

For over a decade SustainUS has worked to empower other young people to advance sustainable development and during this time we have seen first-hand the remarkable impact that young people can have when they stop waiting for others to blaze a trail and start building their own initiatives and leading the way. The Lead Now Fellowship will draw on SustainUS's network and experience working at international negotiations on climate change, sustainable development, and more to support fellows in realizing their ideas for enabling a sustainable future.
