WWF Employees - Boundless Fellowship Application (2026-2028 Cohort)

***** This streamlined application form is intended only for employees of WWF. If you are not a WWF employee, please use this application form instead. *****

 Please note the following before you begin your application:

• Boundless cohorts are made up of 15 Fellows, of whom two or three are WWF employees. 
• WWF Employees will ultimately need written approval from their manager in order to join Boundless. You do not need formal approval to apply, but we recommend having an informal conversation with your manager alerting them that you are interested in this opportunity. 
• WWF employees are not eligible to receive the stipends that other Fellows receive as a part of their participation in Boundless. All costs for participating in Boundless are, of course, covered by the program. Participation in Boundless does not require the use of personal vacation days.  
• Participation in Boundless includes mandatory attendance at four in-person Encounters. The first Encounter will take place in Peru from October 19 - 26, 2026. Subsequent Encounters will take place in April 2027, October 2027, and May 2028. If you foresee major personal or work conflicts that would prevent you from attending these Encounters, we ask that you refrain from applying to join this cohort. 
• The deadline for applying to Boundless is March 31st, 2026. We may ask for additional information or hold brief interviews in April. All applicants will be notified of the status of their application by mid-May. 

We are particularly seeking Boundless Fellows from WWF who: 

• Are at an inflection point of responsibility in their careers and are about to assume a larger role or a more complex challenge within WWF. 
• Bring a demonstrated positive spirit of collaboration within WWF – and are eager to extend that collaborative network to include Boundless Fellows from across the Americas. 
• Are working on projects that primarily relate to the Caribbean, South America, Central America, or North America. 
• Bring around ten years of professional experience working to protect nature, whether at WWF or elsewhere.

If you have any questions about the application process or the fellowship, do not hesitate to contact us at alexis.massenburg@wwfus.org.
