What is a Fellowship? 

LEEF members are a highly skilled, creative, innovative and professional group of practitioners. LEEF celebrates and acknowledges this by awarding LEEF fellowships. These recognise dedicated and exceptional environmental educators in London.
Become a LEEF Fellow

LEEF members are invited to work towards becoming a LEEF fellows if they wish to have their skills formally endorsed.
To achieve a LEEF fellowship, members need to have been working in the field for a number of years, and to have demonstrated skill and progress in their career. LEEF fellows should have the support of their colleagues and employer to become a fellow. 

Fellows present their work in a 15-minute presentation before and invited and LEEF member audience at a reception event. Then they receive a certificate and have their photo taken. Friends and family may be invited. We hold a Fellowship event about once a year. Please contact LEEF if you are interested in becoming a Fellow, and see below for part Fellows: all have a profile page.
