OneUpAction 2023 Youth Solutionists in Government Program

The Youth Solutionists in Government Fellowship (YSGF) is a 4-month virtual program based in the United States for individuals between the ages of 15 and 25, with the goal of bridging the gap between youth and climate policymaking spaces. Oftentimes, climate decision spaces do not include the visions and ideas of youth. Our goal is to transform that by ensuring that youth are empowered to participate in environmental governance on a local, state, and/or federal level. We provide capacity-building sessions to educate fellows on how to engage the government through our unique 3-step framework.

Eligibility Criteria

• In order to be eligible for this fellowship, you must be between the ages of 15 to 25 years old as of April 2023.
• Additionally, you must be living in the United States of America. You do not need to be a citizen of the United States of America to apply. We require that all applicants must reside in the U.S. during the time of fellowship.
