Apply Now For Institute Of Conservation Leadership Delaware River Watershed Professionals Of Color 2022 Cohort

-
Conservation professionals of color in the Delaware River Watershed region can join a one-year cohort led by Institute for Conservation Leadership.  The deadline to apply is October 19.

Since BIPOC communities in environmental organizations operate in a space with lower representation and higher barriers to advance their careers, this pilot program is intended to create and support a cohort of young professionals in their work. 

There will be special emphasis on staff from organizations in the Delaware River Watershed Initiative and other William Penn Foundation Watershed Protection Program grantees. 

The cohort will have opportunities for career development, network building, and skills development to enhance and advance their professional pursuits.
