Organization: JWH Initiative
Deadline: 1st Dec 2013
Interest Area(s): Children & Young People, Education and Environment
In order to promote lasting change towards a more sustainable world the environmental
movement is in constant need of inspirational and skilful leadership. Young people
working for environmental CSOs, especially in developing countries, often have
few opportunities to develop leadership skills due to a lack of resources for schooling,
training or practical learning. The Joke Waller-Hunter (JWH) Initiative creates
opportunities for young people in the environmental sector in developing countries
to unfold their full potential. By giving small grants to individuals to expand their
knowledge, experience and training, the Initiative aims to strengthen environmental
Civil Society Organisations capacity and efficiency. The mission of the JWH
Initiative is thus to provide an accessible and tailored small grant for education
and training of individuals who are nominated by their organisation as potential
future leaders. Nomination can only be made by an environmental Civil Society
Organisations or nominators working in these organisations. Candidates
can come from anywhere except from 'advanced economies'. See
website for full list. http://www.jwhinitiative.org/
