the planet forward frontline climate fellowship engages college students who report environmental stories from, by, and about underserved communities on the front lines of climate change and environmental inequity.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t within the fellowship, students will work in an intensive collegiate environment to create a video, multimedia presentation, photo essay, or written story from and about their community. fellows will be rigorously mentored and coached on career trajectory and professional networking as they research, develop, and publish their work over six weeks at george washington university hosted by planet forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n student work will focus on how issues of environmental justice, gender, and equity take on new urgency in the context of climate change and its impact on life in frontline communities. while revealing the special challenges and inequities that these communities confront, the stories also will shine a spotlight on local leaders and innovators who are pushing the boundaries, seeking solutions, and demanding action. these will be stories of challenge and resilience, injustice, and invention that connect students to their communities through on-the-ground reporting and research, and will provide important visibility for communities that are too often marginalized or ignored. <\/p>\n\n\n\n meet the 2024 frontline climate fellows:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cthese students will be the vanguard of environmental and sustainability journalism in areas that are too often ignored by other media,\u201d said frontline climate fellowship director and george washington university professor jesse j. holland. \u201ci hope these first fellows and subsequent ones are able to use their skills to not only tell stories but provide solutions in ways that only people who are intimately familiar with these neighborhoods and communities can.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n held over the summer, students will spend a week in d.c., followed by five weeks of full-time remote reporting. fellows will be receive a stipend and support for their travel to and from d.c.<\/p>\n\n\n\n this fellowship has been made possible by a genius grant from the helen gurley brown foundation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n director of the planet forward frontline climate fellowship | george washington university<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t planet forward sr. correspondent | california state polytechnic university, humboldt<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n
