Applications are open for the Officially Green Global Fellowship, February 2027 cohort, offered by The Green Institute. The programme invites young people around the world to turn their interest in sustainability into practical education, advocacy and community action.

US$1,000 grand prize: what to know

One fellow may receive a US$1,000 post-fellowship award to continue or expand the Educators Initiative. The award depends on meeting all programme requirements and demonstrating documented results. Selection for the fellowship does not guarantee funding.

Certification is also conditional on successful completion of the fellowship requirements; admission alone does not guarantee a certificate.

What fellows are expected to do

This is an action-oriented programme. Participants should attend the designated conferences, take part in learning activities, educate others, advocate for sustainability and demonstrate practical impact. Be ready to document your work and share evidence of what your activities achieve.
