Program Overview

Fellows engage in strategic planning, data collection, agency staff interviewing and coordination, and scientific writing. Fellows are trained in the specific tasks they are asked to complete, but are expected to come to the Fellowship with experience researching, writing, and leading work projects. High quality project work is expected, and comfort with initiating communication, desigining outcomes, driving achievement, and meeting deadlines is required.
Fellowships are six months long, with a few extending up to a year. The Fellowship begins with a one or two week training held in Powell, Idaho, with travel paid to and from the Fellows' home to training.

When Fellows arrive at their work location, they are oriented to the local staff, policies and procedures; provided with working space and resources; and on-boarded according to government regulations. Where available, Fellows will reside in agency barracks. If barracks are not available, SWS staff will guide the Fellow through the process of finding suitable housing.

When Fellows are brought together in the fall, they participate in a debrief of work completed during the season, and formulate recommendations for land management agencies based on their experience. Fellows compile recommendations into a presentation for the National Wilderness Workshop, giving them professional speaking experience and exposure to numerous professionals across the wilderness spectrum. During the Career Summit, Fellows are instructed in behind-the-scenes information beneficial to achieving professional jobs in land management agencies and non-governmental organizations from high-level professionals. At the end of their Fellowship, Fellows become eligible for the Public Land Service Corps Hiring Authority, which provides them with two years of non-competitive hiring status for federal jobs.
