Overview
The climate fellowship was created by the City of El Paso's Planning & Development Department and launched in April 2024.
It’s made up of some super smart, driven and talented people who live here and want to make a difference. So far, we’ve got 27 volunteers from across the region, who are broken into nine teams of three fellows each. These fellows are here to gain career experience and better position themselves to grow into full-time climate professionals.
Through this project, the fellows will work with partner organizations such as Frontera Land Alliance, the El Paso Community Foundation, Eco El Paso, and various promotora groups to help the engagement and education process of the Climate Action Plan.
