Program

The Conservation Leadership Immersion Experience (CLIME) has four key elements:

• A two-week, in-person Conservation Leadership Immersion where Scholars form tightly-knit supportive cohorts;
• An 8-week Internship Experience with an excellent mentor to gain experience in collaborative conservation science and action;
• A week-long series of remote Fall Workshops where Scholars share summer outcomes and prepare to apply to graduate school and jobs in conservation; and
• Attendance at a national conference with program mentors to present research and build relationships across a national network of conservation leaders

Scholars receive a stipend, as well as funded travel and lodging for each program element (leadership immersion, internship and a professional conference).
