The Sludge Hub hosts University Student Fellowship teams through Earth Island Institute

Earth Island Institute provides support to environmental action projects and to the next generation of environmental leaders in order to achieve solutions to the crises threatening the survival of life on Earth.

Earth Island Institute recognizes the front-line environmental justice challenges posed by abandoned coal mines in Appalachia and it supports The Sludge Hub's mission to transform them into ecologically prosperous spaces.

New Leaders Initiative Program

Established in 2000, the New Leaders Initiative program of Earth Island Institute works to support students with an interest in environmental and social justice by facilitating fellowships, grants, training, and mentorships. This opportunity gives students greater access to resources and relationships to cultivate successful projects and campaigns. The Sludge Hub is a partner to the New Leaders Initiative fellowship, bringing rising student leaders onto the team to provide them experience with a front-line environmental group.

Deliverables

During the program, the fellows were tasked with cultivating a multitude of deliverables relating to The Sludge Hub and its seeded research space and community The Dirty Nine. Shown here are some of the external-facing deliverables created during the fellowship.
