Summary
Fellows gain over 400 hours of practical experience instructing diverse audiences while refining their facilitation techniques and learning from ongoing evaluations and feedback.
Throughout the program, fellows are supported by a network of mentors and peers, and they engage in continuous learning opportunities that foster personal and professional growth. Upon completion, fellows are well-prepared to pursue careers in environmental education, outdoor programming, or related fields, equipped with both teaching experience and a deeper understanding of effective environmental education techniques.
While not a traditional graduate program, the fellowship offers graduate-level seminars and the opportunity to earn graduate credits through Hamline University (for participants with a college degree). These credits can be applied toward a Master’s program at Hamline or other institutions nationwide, though earning graduate credits is entirely optional and not a requirement for participation in the Fellowship.
