Student Leaders Summer Fellowship 2026
The ERC seeks the next generation of local environmental leaders to participate in its 2026 Fellowship program. Our fellowship program is focused on taking concepts learned in the classroom and applying it to real world problems. We believe that leaders are made through experiences that expand their capacity for courage, competence, and communication. The 2026 Fellowship Program will run approximately 12 weeks, from late May to late August. The program is flexible; Fellows can work part-time or full-time, depending on their visions for the summer.

Hello hello! I am a senior at the Sage School and love the ERC! I would love to help you guys out wherever you will take me. I also have a 40-hour community service requirement that I need to fulfill by March of this coming year. Kids are a big part of my life, and I would love to help you with any of your education programs. But at the same time, I am down to do absolutely anything. Thanks so much! I would love to chat soon.
Hey Maggie, We are so excited to work with you this season, thanks so much for reaching out!
Thank you so much!
Thanks for thr great article!
I am a retired conservation educator and an advocate for Idaho’s declining biodiversity who has lived in the WR valley for nearly 50 years. My friend, Maureen Pressley, suggested to me that you might be interested in the huge impact that trapping and snaring and the impacts of sheep and cattle grazing on our public lands. I have recently compiled 5 years of data on grizzly and wolf mortality, and the hideous numbers of our “furbearers” (they are worth a whole lot more to me than their fur) that die in traps. If any of that data is useful to your efforts, I would be happy to share it.
