Policy Fellowships

The New York Youth Climate Leaders are looking for fellows to help with our biggest policy campaigns. The fellowship lasts from mid-February until the end of the legislative session (mid June). There will be approximately 5 hours of work per week. Fellows will be expected to attend and participate in every policy call. Additionally, fellows will be asked to attend a training on op-eds and LTEs by NY²CL's Press Director.
