Overview
Have an environmental problem you want to tackle? Bring your planet-positive ideas to life with the beVisioneers Fellowship!
Details
beVisioneers helps bring your planet-positive ideas to life, regardless of your entrepreneurial experience or your financial situation.
beVisioneers is a global fellowship that equips innovators aged 16 to 28 with the training, expert support and resources to bring their planet-positive ideas to life.
At the start of our 3-year fellowship is a 12-month hybrid foundational year that builds Fellows’ entrepreneurial skills through challenge-based learning, resulting in launched projects that tackle an environmental issue. Upon completing the intensive 12-month program, Fellows continue to strengthen local environmental efforts, scale their projects and develop their leadership skills through our long-term community
Funded by donations from Mercedes-Benz and implemented by The DO School Fellowships, beVisioneers provides the program free of charge to all selected Fellows and provides basic living and technology support for those who could not otherwise participate. By fostering local, regional and global exchange among our ever-growing community of Fellows, mentors and experts, we amplify impact today and help build the environmental leaders of tomorrow.
