The BwB Fellows Programme offers an exceptional opportunity for experienced financial professionals to contribute to innovative, high-impact projects, receive mentorship from respected industry leaders, and join a driven global community dedicated to advancing environmental and social good.
This exclusive two-year programme is designed to nurture future leaders in sustainable finance by empowering them to employ their existing skills in new ways and gain new knowledge and experience through strategic-level engagement with BwB's innovative initiatives. The programme's focus is on strategic input, high-level advisory work, and thought leadership, rather than operational execution.
Fellows contribute up to 10 hours per month to support transformative projects that employ innovative strategies, instruments, and structures to mobilise capital for social and environmental impact across a diverse range of sectors and geographies.
Fellows receive direct mentorship from BwB's leadership, senior ambassadors, and members of the Global Expert Group — recognised experts in finance, policy, and sustainability — while also providing mentorship to BwB analytical team members.
Fellows interact with members of BwB's Global Expert Group through small group sessions and roundtable discussions, and are invited to BwB's annual retreat — an immersive gathering designed to foster collaboration and exchange insights.
Upon completing the two-year programme, Fellows transition into the BwB Alumni Group, enabling them to maintain valuable connections and draw on the collective expertise of individuals at the forefront of sustainable finance.

Volunteering with BwB allows me to enjoy the best of both worlds. I am able to multiply the returns on the skillset I have built on the trading floor by advising on high-level market theory and terminology. It's wonderful to know that I am adding to the toolkit of knowledge that the BwB team will use to bring about impactful change.
