                          Dear Friends,

                          I am delighted to announce an exciting new 
initiative - the inaugural Public Voices Fellowship on the Climate Crisis. 
The goal of the project is to bring new, diverse voices into the national 
climate conversation via training in op-ed writing and thought leadership. 
Please consider applying and/or sharing the opportunity with anyone you 
think might be interested.

                          The Fellowship will provide twenty climate change 
thought leaders, the majority of whom will be women and people of color, 
with extraordinary support, leadership skills and knowledge to ensure their 
ideas shape not only their respective fields, but public opinion and 
policymaking on the most urgent issue of our age.

                          The program includes four in-person, day-long 
workshops and one-on-one coaching by leading journalists and editors. All 
participants will publish at least two written pieces of thought leadership 
(and hopefully many more) during their fellowship. Attendance at all four 
workshops is required – applicants must save the dates in order to apply.

                          The curriculum explores leadership, power, and 
action in an unfair world. Over the course of a year, fellows will learn how 
credibility works, how ideas spread, when and why minds change, and how 
ideas play out over time and space.

                          SELECTION
                          We are looking for new voices from civil society, 
academia, and the private sector, including advocates, entrepreneurs, 
community and business leaders, scientists, educators, and writers, among 
others.

                          We seek leaders working at the intersection of 
climate change, communication, and social justice, with a demonstrated 
desire and ability to contribute to public dialogue on climate change. Areas 
of focus could include activism and movement building, financial risks and 
opportunities of climate impacts and solutions, local, national or global 
policy, climate science, sector approaches (e.g., faith, business, health), 
or many others.

                          Fellows will be chosen through a competitive 
selection process. We are committed to building a diverse cohort. We will 
consider a variety of factors, including but not limited to gender, 
race/ethnicity, age, geography, area of expertise, work history, and 
experience as an agent of change.

                          DETAILS

                          MORE ABOUT THE FELLOWSHIP
                          The Public Voices Fellowship on the Climate Crisis 
is a collaboration between the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication, 
The OpEd Project, and Ann MacDougall and is part of The OpEd Project’s 
national Public Voices initiative to change who writes history. The OpEd 
Project is a think tank and leadership organization that amplifies the ideas 
and public impact of new and necessary voices, including women of all 
backgrounds. Ann MacDougall is an impact investor, independent public board 
member and experienced senior executive. She serves as a senior advisor to 
the Public Voices Fellowship on the Climate Crisis.

                          WHAT IS SUCCESS?
                          We are not interested in providing a service as 
much as creating an outcome. Our goal is 100% success: we envision that 
every participant will produce tangible pieces of thought leadership in 
influential places (which may include op-eds, speeches, radio/TV 
appearances, proposals for new initiatives or businesses, and more), and 
that these will greatly accelerate their impact as thought leaders.

                          APPLY NOW
