Applications are being accepted by Wild Gift for leaders who are making an impact today and will continue to do so in tomorrow’s world. Only five recipients a year are selected. The small class size lends to an enhanced interpersonal communication with less impact on the environment. A mandatory, three-week trek in deep wilderness is the cornerstone of the Wild Gift opportunity. Prior wilderness experience is not required, however, the trek is physically challenging. If you are in excellent physical condition and have a positive attitude, you should have no problem handling the rigors of the trek. Wild Gift values ethnic, cultural, and economic diversity and ability for interdisciplinary thinking and action. Wild Gift more likely selects those young leaders who have a project fleshed out.
Eligibility:
Students and young professionals ages 21-30 with United States Citizenship.
Award Amount: $8,000 to $15,000
How to Apply:
In addition to completing the application form, a candidate must have a minimum of three references to attest to their leadership (email to Wild Gift Founder Bob Jonas at bob@wildgift.org).
