Fellowship Program Overview
The Fellowship Program invites participants to contemplate their own unique abilities and personal values, to develop a clear vision for their vocation, and to articulate it for others.
Fellows are encouraged and challenged to reflect on and call into question their existing assumptions or mental models and to play with expanding their repertoire of ways of being in our world.
The journey begins in June as Fellows explore resources and practices virtually in pairs and as a whole; culminates in August with an intensive, week-long, in-person immersion program; and continues with virtual gatherings, activation, and integration through the end of October.
The intensive in-person week of the Fellowship program takes place August 10th–15th at The Uplands Center in Upstate New York.
Each year, Byron Fellowship is available to a select cohort of sixteen social and environmental entrepreneurs, founders, and community leaders around the world.

The Uplands Center is a non-profit retreat center located 2.5 hours outside of NYC on 290 acres of tranquil farm and woodlands in the sweeping hills of the western Catskills.
The Center’s many offerings and serene natural setting connect guests with the mutually nourishing, transformative healing power of nature and the value of sustainability.
