Fellowship Opportunity
RAY Fellowship Program

Inspired by efforts to increase racial diversity in the marine conservation field, The RAY Fellowship Program is a response to the call for mainstream environmental organizations to work to increase and provide supported career pathways for people of color within the field. The RAY Fellowship Program is a year-long paid fellowship designed to equip recent college graduates with an undergraduate degree with the tools and support systems they need to become leaders in the ocean conservation field; one that fully represents the rich and diverse communities within the United States.

RAY Fellows will be placed within one of our partner organizations (EDF, Greenpeace, NRDC, Ocean Conservancy, Oceana, Point Blue, RARE, and The Nature Conservancy) for a year-long paid fellowship position, with the resources and support to develop experiences that will launch them onto a path of career growth in the conservation field. RAY Fellowships are full time paid positions and include benefits.
