(November 20, 2025) — Sustainable CT is pleased to announce that applications are now being accepted for the 2026 Sustainable CT Fellowship Program, a highly regarded summer initiative that places student Fellows directly with Councils of Governments (COGs) across Connecticut to support communities advancing sustainability.
The Sustainable CT Fellowship Program is a paid, full-time summer position for students who are currently enrolled in a post-secondary degree program or who will graduate during the 2025–2026 academic year. Fellows gain hands-on experience supporting municipalities in implementing Sustainable CT actions, tracking progress toward certification, and fostering community engagement in sustainability initiatives.
Sustainable CT is accepting applications for the 2026 Fellowship Program now through Monday, February 9, 2026, at 5:00 p.m.
“Our Fellowship Program continues to be an invaluable opportunity for students to engage directly with local leaders and help move sustainability efforts forward across the state,” said Lilly Adamo, Sustainable CT program assistant and manager of the 2026 Fellowship Program. “We’re thrilled to welcome the next cohort of emerging professionals who are passionate about climate action, equity, and community-driven progress.”
Additional details about the Fellowship experience, including host placement locations, can be found on the Sustainable CT Fellowship Program page. Contact Lilly Adamo at LillyA@sustainablect.org with questions.
