The LeadGreen Fellowship Cohort 3 is a 4-month, fully virtual program designed to equip young Africans with leadership skills to drive climate action in their communities. This fellowship actively engages participants in hands-on learning, collaborative projects, and practical climate initiatives.
By joining the LeadGreen Fellowship Cohort 3, young Africans gain the knowledge, tools, and networks needed to lead sustainable environmental solutions while making a tangible impact in their local communities.
About the LeadGreen Fellowship Cohort 3

Participants collaborate in teams, work on output-driven projects, and engage in a highly participatory learning environment.
