Designed and implemented by The DO School Fellowships and funded by Mercedes-Benz, beVisioneers: The Mercedes-Benz Fellowship launched in 2023 to equip thousands of young people around the world with the tools and resources to implement environmental projects for a sustainable planet.

As a participant, you’ll embark on a multi-year fellowship journey. Starting with a 12-month intensive, requiring a minimum of a 24 hour per month commitment, the fellowship equips you with the skills, resources and connections to bring an environmental idea to life. You receive award-winning innovation training through online modules, community-based Local Hub gatherings, a Regional Summit, regular access to venture coaches, 1:1 mentoring, and expert and peer support to help you achieve your environmental leadership and project goals. At the end of the first year, you will be able to access project scholarships for up to €20,000 to advance your project’s development.

Upon completing the intensive foundational year, Fellows continue to strengthen local environmental efforts, scale their projects and develop their leadership skills through our long-term community.
