The Officially Green Global Fellowship, also called the Green Fellows Programme, is run by The Green Institute. It recruits a February 2027 cohort of young changemakers from anywhere in the world.
Fellows take a compulsory online course (MOOC), attend the fellowship’s conferences, set up an Officially Green Club in a local primary or secondary school, promote the seven Officially Green pledges and report their results.
Benefits & funding
- No stipend or travel money is stated; fellows gain expert-led training, skills and a peer network.

- One fellow with full compliance and documented impact may receive a US$1,000 post-fellowship award to continue their initiative; not guaranteed.
- Duties: a club of at least 20 young students, the MOOC, all designated conferences, and reports.
