"Having the opportunity to be part of the Climate Fellows has provided a lot of valuable insights that I will continue to carry forward. I strengthened various skills including communication, organization and networking. Lastly, I learned more about the ongoing climate impacts, and the government’s process to address them."

"The past two years of the fellowship have brought me a lot of personal and professional growth. It has allowed me to wear many hats, teammate, community member, project manager, and more. Every phase of the fellowship has been a valuable experience."

"The fellowship helped me walk into spaces I once felt intimidated by and developed a strong sense of confidence. The mentorship didn’t just support me, it affirmed my voice and the work I feel called to do. It genuinely shifted how I understand my leadership and the impact I want to continue make in my community."
