*NCRC Community-Engaged Fellowship Program: Summer 2025*



The Northwest Climate Resilience Collaborative (NCRC) is launching the
Community-Engaged Fellowship Program in Summer 2025 to connect University
of Washington graduate students with community organizations outside of the
university. The fellowship program is rooted in the belief that some of the
most important climate resilience work is being driven by community
organizations. The Community-Engaged Fellowship Program is designed to
accelerate climate adaptation in the Northwest and beyond. It has two
goals:



   1. To provide grounded experiential learning that will broaden students’
   perspectives and prepare them to have effective, future collaboration and
   engagement with community-based and nonprofit organizations after
   graduation, and
   2. Equip nonprofits and community-based organizations with relevant
   skills and support to advance their climate and environmental priorities.




In summer 2025, the NCRC will pilot the fellowship by pairing *up to two
fellows* with organizations. Fellowships will run from approximately June
23 through August 22. The start and end dates will vary. Fellows will:



   - Dedicate up to 20 hours per week to the fellowship
   - Apply their skills and knowledge to complete an identified scope of
   work
   - Meet with NCRC staff regularly to ensure positive engagement with the
   organization and promote community-engaged learning.
   - Receive a stipend to offset living expenses for the duration of the
   fellowship.



*Early May, we will announce fellowship opportunities and provide
instructions on how to apply. Check back to our webpage
<https://cig.uw.edu/our-programs/the-northwest-climate-resilience-collaborative/>
to
apply!*



The NCRC and participating community-based organizations will co-develop a
project work plan that corresponds with one of three fellowship categories:
Climate Storytelling and Communications, Technical Assistance, or
Education. Details will vary depending on the interests and needs of our
community partners. Co-production is an interdisciplinary method that seeks
to incorporate collaborative approaches to projects between community
groups and institutions and will be applied throughout this fellowship.
Fellows will gain experience in co-producing outputs and deliverables with
a community-based organization and the NCRC.



*CLIMATE STORYTELLING AND COMMUNICATIONS FELLOWSHIP*



Fellows will gain real-world experience in developing community-oriented
communications and storytelling projects that advances the community
partner’s mission and project priorities. Fellows may engage in a number of
activities such as writing newsletters, planning and coordinating outreach
events to storytelling through interviewing, storymapping, or other
creative engagement methods. For example, the fellow may assist in
developing a website while improving communication methods such as a
monthly newsletter.



*RESEARCH AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE FELLOWSHIP*



Fellows will gain experience in research and technical support for a
community partner’s project. Areas of research expertise may range from
social, natural, or physical sciences. Technical support may include but is
not limited to research and project co-design, interviewing and analysis,
data collection, literature review, data synthesis and analysis, or data
translation. For example, the fellow may conduct a literature review on
research on climate impacts relevant to the community and present findings
to the community partner.



*EDUCATION FELLOWSHIP*



Fellows will gain experience in curriculum and facilitation support for a
community partner’s educational program. Educational support may include
curriculum design and development, curriculum facilitation, and evaluation
to advance the community partner’s mission and project priorities. The
Education fellowship emphasizes the value of incorporating multiple ways of
knowing and sharing knowledge that goes beyond the traditional western
approaches to education. For example, the fellow may create training
material for a community partner to use that highlights climate impacts
pertinent to their community in ways that are locally relevant and
culturally responsive.
