350 U.S. Frontline Video Fellowship: 2019

The stories the climate movement tells and who tells them matters. 

This summer, 350 is launching the first cohort of the Frontlines Video Fellowship: a 3-month-long, part-time, paid opportunity from September through November 2019. 

Fellows will do local video storytelling and get training and support so that fellows are positioned to continue to collaborate with 350 and other partner orgs after the fellowship, and continue to tell stories about the impacts their communities are facing.

The application deadline for the 2019 cohort is August 16.
