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
