Leave a comment

Application Deadline: Sunday, 28 July 2024

LOCATION: Multiple Regions

The Restoration Stewards program is a youth program rooted in care, landscape leadership, diversity, intersectionality and intergenerational equity. Launched in 2020 by the Global Landscapes Forum and the Youth in Landscapes Initiative, it aims to support the efforts of youth-led teams in holistically restoring their landscapes and seascapes while nurturing biocultural diversity.

ELIGIBILITY:

The program  will consider applications from anyone between the ages of 18 and 35 who is leading or working on a youth-led restoration project in any of the following ecosystems: forest, mountains, oceans, wetlands, peatlands, drylands or rangelands. Applicants must understand and be willing to adhere to and model the GLF vision, pillars and values.

Priority will be given to projects that:

Are led by a young person or a group of young people (aged 18 to 35) who are either local, Indigenous, or nationals of African, Asian, Latin American or Caribbean countries and are running projects in these regions; 

Have been running for a minimum of six months.

Please note that: 

You do not have to create a new project from scratch to be eligible; candidates are invited to build on restoration programs or projects that are already running. 

It would be beneficial if at least one person in your team is proficient in English, as many of the activities and opportunities provided through the program are currently in English. 

The GLF and YIL would especially like to encourage young women, Indigenous youth, rural youth and other underrepresented groups and identities to apply for this program.

BENEFIT:

The selected Restoration Stewards will receive mentorship from experts, as well as opportunities for professional and project development. They will also receive a grant of EUR 5,000 to further develop their restoration project while meeting the following objectives:

Set project-specific targets to be reached by the end of the year, with guidance from the mentors and GLF experts; 

Seek and carry out training activities to deepen the understanding of the landscape approach and other relevant topics;
