The 2026 GreenLyf Climate Career Mentorship Programme  

Are you a young leader ready to turn your climate passion into action? Join a 10-week journey to build skills, get mentored by experts, and launch real solutions.

The wait is over. After a successful pilot in 2025 that trained several people and launched community projects (from reusable sanitary pads to plastic bottle greenhouses), Ekcians GreenLyf Foundation (EGF) is proud to announce the 2026 Cohort of the GreenLyf Climate Career Mentorship Programme.

“Hands-on, career-focused, and designed for you to move from awareness to action”
