SARE Outreach and our national partners have made a difficult decision to temporarily suspend the SARE Fellows program. We will not be accepting Fellows applications, beginning in 2025.
SARE Fellows, which began in 2007, has been favored by agricultural professionals for providing professional development opportunities through national study tours focused on sustainable agriculture. However, Fellows has not changed since it began and program updates are necessary for us to best meet the current needs of the nation’s sustainable agricultural communities and partners. Pausing the program will allow us to focus on improvements.
We plan to relaunch a new SARE Outreach program in the future that is similar in its intention to the SARE Fellows program. While we don’t have any further details at this time, the new program will still provide professional development opportunities to agricultural professionals and will continue to keep sustainable agriculture and farmers at the center of its mission.
We appreciate the support and patience of all of SARE’s partners as we work to make SARE programs the best they can be. We look forward to sharing more details about the new program soon!
