The Colorado Chapter of The Nature Conservancy (TNC CO) is excited to continue the Colorado Conservation Fellowship Program focused on elevating and empowering the next generation of conservation leaders who represent the variety of backgrounds, experiences, and priorities in Colorado. This Fellowship has two main components: advancing TNC’s ambitious conservation goals focused on tackling climate change and biodiversity loss through hands-on projects, and supporting Fellows’ career growth through networking, mentorship, and professional development opportunities. The Colorado Conservation Fellowship, in partnership with Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO) is a 2-year, full-time (35 hours per week) program, starting in September 2026. These Colorado Conservation Fellowship roles are ideal for early-career candidates interested in conservation, community engagement, stewardship, and meaningful relationship building. This program aims to foster an environment where people from a broad range of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives feel welcomed and valued. We encourage all qualified candidates to apply.
The Nature Conservancy’s Zapata Ranch Preserve in the San Luis Valley aspires to be a living model of culturally grounded conservation—a unique place where people, buffalo, and an iconic landscape come together to foster resilience and reconnection. This Fellow will help advance TNC’s strategy focused on local community engagement and experiential learning efforts at the Zapata Ranch Preserve. The fellow will support outreach and programming with a broad range of partners in the San Luis Valley, including regional coalitions, community-based organizations, educational institutions, conservation and stewardship groups, youth-serving organizations, and local, state, and federal agencies. The Fellow will also assist the Zapata Preserve Manager and other team members in organizing and preparing for community events at the Zapata Ranch Preserve.
Deadline: August 9th
