Why Your Support Matters
Save The Bay’s Fellowship Program is more than just a professional stepping stone—it's a launchpad for the climate champions of tomorrow.
Past Fellows have gone on to do incredible things:
- Pursue advanced degrees in environmental law, urban planning, and environmental management.
- Work for respected organizations like the University of California, Berkeley and Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District.
- Become Save The Bay staff and further our mission to protect and restore San Francisco Bay. (Save The Bay's Policy Director, Allison Chan, started as a Fellow 15 years ago!)
By investing in our Fellowship Program, you're not just funding a learning opportunity—you're empowering the next generation of environmental leaders to make a lasting impact for our planet.
Thank you for being part of their journey.
My Fellowship at Save The Bay helped me narrow down the direction I plan to pursue in the future. After undergrad, I wasn’t sure how to apply my degree to my career goals, and with the experiences I had during my fellowship, and the mentorship of my policy team, I was able to figure out where I see myself in the future.
–Vibha, Former Policy Fellow
My experience with Save The Bay taught me the value of developing a connection with the land you live on, especially when we are often so removed from it in daily life. I formed relationships with some of the most amazing people I know, all from different walks of life and backgrounds.
–Myles, Former Habitat Restoration Fellow
My time as a Fellow could not have been more important in my early career. I gained so much experience, and more importantly, confidence in myself in this role. I always had the passion and drive, but now I have the tools to back it up. I will forever be a Save The Bay supporter.
–Chloe, Former Communications Fellow
