About Beahrs ELP:
The Beahrs Environmental Leadership Program (Beahrs ELP) at the University of California, Berkeley is a rigorous, unique learning experience that transforms mid-career environmental professionals into exceptional leaders. Through exposure to innovative approaches and case studies, ELP participants develop the skills necessary to tackle complex and dynamic environmental issues.
The Beahrs Environmental Leadership Program (Beahrs ELP) at UC Berkeley seeks to strengthen the capacities of new generations of environmental leaders around the world through access to state-of-the-art knowledge, and opportunities for peer learning, networking, and collaboration on a continuing basis. Beahrs ELP leaders are challenged to meet environmental goals with collaborative and inclusive solutions that also support equity.
2022 Beahrs Environmental Leadership Program :
The 2022 program will begin on June 2, and end on September 16, 2022. The program will be spread out across three months to allow you greater flexibility, so that you do not need to take three weeks out of your time. You now have the opportunity to learn from our world-class instructors and participate in cohort-building without having to leave the comfort of your home or disrupt your work schedule. Additionally, we hope to have even greater opportunities for long-term case studies and group projects, now that the program spans three months and is accessible to more people around the globe.
At the end of the program, you will receive a UC Berkeley certificate in Sustainable Environmental Management, as well as lifetime membership in our global Berkeley ELP Alumni Network. If you qualify, you may also have the opportunity to participate in a future in-person program free of cost; read below under Free Participation in Future Programs for details
Free Participation in Future Programs:
If you complete the 2022 Beahrs ELP in full, and pay the entire program fee in full (either by yourself or a supporting organization), you are also invited to participate in a future in-person/hybrid program at no cost, so long as you can arrange and cover your own lodging and meals during the in-person program. Restrictions apply:
- Participants may choose to attend the in-person ELP in 2023, 2024, or 2025. Space is limited each year to a maximum of five such participants, and we will operate on a first-come-first-served basis. This includes participants from 2021 taking advantage of this opportunity.
- Participants must let us know by January 10th of that year that they intend to participate in the program. At that time, they must provide us with a letter from their employer confirming that they will be able to be in Berkeley on those dates.
- Participants are required to participate in the full program, including all in-person and online portions as may be applicable. Future programs are expected to take place partially online with two weeks in-person on campus.
- Participants are only eligible for this if they paid 100% of the program fee, without using any scholarship from UC Berkeley.
- The Beahrs ELP will not be involved whatsoever in participants’ arrangements for housing, meals, or travel (both international and domestic). The participant is fully responsible for making and paying for their own arrangements.
- Non-US citizens must also provide either a valid US visa or proof that they have made an appointment with their local embassy to apply for a visa by the January 10th deadline.
- Please note that external factors and situations may alter our plans in the years to come. For those considering this opportunity, we recommend trying to attend a program as soon as possible, and not waiting for 2025 if possible.
