How it works & time commitment
-
All of our programs are facilitator-led and fully remote. We are proud to have fellows from all over the world!
Fellows are expected to show up to a weekly 1.5 hour call from a computer with their camera on, seated and ready to participate in an active discussion on the week’s reading materials.
-
The weekly time commitment is about 5 hours/week:
2-3 hours of reading
Before each discussion you’ll spend around two hours completing a set of readings, videos, and activities.
1.5h discussion
Weekly discussions with a cohort of fellow participants and an experienced facilitator.
Network with fellows & alumni
Fellows are encouraged to make connections and discuss outside of the weekly call! Fellows can access a Slack channel of others dedicated to the cause area.
-
This is a free program! There is no cost to participate for accepted fellows.

Jan Gaida, Wild-Caught Scoping Lead @ Shrimp Welfare Project
“The Prioritizing Neglected Animals fellowship gave an engaging and insightful overview of the moral and practical issues regarding farmed chicken, fish, and invertebrates, wild animals, and future animals, without shying away from controversial ideas. I enjoyed it a lot, and I strongly recommend it!”
