Dear Students, Families. Faculty and Staff,
We are thrilled to announce that the Climate Career Lab is officially launching — and we highly encourage students to be part of the inaugural fellowship cohort!
The Climate Career Lab, facilitated by Ethos Pathways, is a paid climate justice fellowship designed for students in grades 8–10 across Northern Berkshire County.
Through this program, fellows will:
• Explore climate and environmental careers
• Build real professional skills
• Create meaningful change in our community
Student participants can earn $3,500 through full participation, plus an additional $500 parent/guardian stipend to support equitable access to family engagement events.
