Applications Now Open | Closes: May 18, 2025 | Program Dates: June 2 – September 29, 2025.
Are you an experienced climate professional, environmental advocate, or sustainability innovator? Do you believe in the power of mentorship to spark global change? If so, Green Mentorship invites you to become a mentor in our upcoming global cohort — a 4-month journey that connects passionate mentors with the next generation of climate leaders.
The climate crisis is one of the most pressing challenges of our time — but it also presents one of the greatest opportunities for collaboration, innovation, and leadership. At Green Mentorship, we believe that real, lasting change is catalyzed when knowledge is shared across generations, borders, and disciplines. That’s why we are building a global mentorship network designed to empower, equip, and elevate emerging climate champions through one-on-one guidance, community support, and meaningful collaboration.
About the Program
Green Mentorship is a curated mentorship experience that pairs committed climate professionals with young changemakers from around the world. Over the course of four months, mentors and mentees engage in regular conversations, knowledge exchange, project guidance, and goal-setting — all designed to foster growth, leadership, and tangible climate impact.
Our mentees are students, early-career professionals, grassroots organizers, and aspiring entrepreneurs who have demonstrated a strong passion for environmental justice, sustainability, and climate solutions. They come ready to learn, take initiative, and make a difference — and they’re looking for mentors who can walk alongside them on that journey.
What We’re Looking For
We’re seeking mentors who can contribute expertise, time, and perspective in any of the following areas:
Climate science & research.
Environmental policy, advocacy & diplomacy.
Sustainability & ESG strategy.
Clean and green technology innovation.
Circular economy & waste reduction.
Conservation, biodiversity & nature-based solutions.
Grassroots and community-based organizing.
Environmental law and climate justice.
Sustainable finance, climate risk, and investment.
You don’t need to have decades of experience or a perfect CV — what matters most is your willingness to support, listen, and guide with empathy and integrity. Mentors of all ages, backgrounds, and regions are welcome.
Time Commitment
Mentorship is designed to be meaningful yet flexible, tailored to fit your schedule while creating space for authentic connection.
Duration: 4 months.
Time Commitment: ~2 to 3 hours per week.
Format: Virtual (Google Meet, email, and/or messaging).
Mentor Pairing: 2–7 mentees per mentor (based on your availability).
Mentors are supported with an onboarding toolkit, optional training sessions, access to our global mentor community, and ongoing program guidance from the Green Mentorship team.
