Through a part-time pro bono fellowship, “unaffiliated” professionals can contribute their considerable experience and skill to protecting New England’s environment.
In continued pursuit of our mission to create comprehensive long-term solutions to environmental challenges, CLF has launched the Senior Fellows Program – an exciting opportunity for experienced lawyers, paralegals, analysts, engineers, and scientists who are transitioning into retirement or out of a career break. Senior Fellows are selected and assigned to projects based on their interests and relevant expertise, as well as CLF’s strategic priorities. Current program areas include, but are not limited to: clean air, clean energy and climate change, clean water, ocean conservation, and transportation and environmental justice. For a comprehensive list of our programmatic priorities, click here.
