Leading Change Fellowship 2026-2027

Deadline: September 7, 2026

Applications are open for the Leading Change Fellowship 2026-2027. The Leading Change Fellowship is designed for young professionals and emerging leaders aged 19 to 35 across Canada who are motivated to create positive environmental and social change in their workplaces and communities.

The Fellowship is particularly valuable for people who are early in their careers, navigating a career transition, or looking to deepen their ability to create impact. They believe leadership takes many forms, and they welcome changemakers from different industries, educational backgrounds, communities, and lived experiences. What matters most is your commitment to making a difference, your curiosity, and your openness to learn, grow, and contribute alongside others.

The Fellowship brings together three interconnected learning areas:

• Environmental Prosperity and Resilience: Explore climate solutions, adaptation, resilience, wellbeing, nature and pathways toward a just and sustainable future.
• Financial Wellbeing: Build your understanding of financial resilience and explore how money, finance, climate, and sustainability intersect.
• Cooperation in Business: Explore cooperative and purpose-driven approaches to business grounded in democracy, equity and shared prosperity.

• are aged 19–35 and reside in Canada;
• care about creating positive environmental or social change;
• are early in your career, navigating a career transition, or looking to grow your capacity as a leader;
• are curious about how sustainability connects across sectors and systems;
• want to turn learning into action; and
• are excited to learn alongside people whose perspectives and experiences may differ from your own.
