Who can apply?
Kinship looks for people with influence in their community who can commit to a three to seven month journey. The page also asks for openness to unlearning and a real value for culture, art and collaboration. It does not state how many Fellows are selected or how selection works, so read the FAQ document before you apply.
For readers who track how projects show results, the fellowship ends with a project implementation phase. If you plan to apply, think now about what you would measure and how you would report it once your project runs.

Advice from the Impact DOTS team

- Tie your idea to one environmental or social outcome you could later document.
- Check the weekly session time against your calendar, since the Learning Journey runs from February through April 2027.
