The Yumi Rise Collective is an invitation to our allies, regional institutions, and global organisations to join us in a process of Talanoa and genuine co-design.

We are seeking partners to support the Collective across four key pillars:

• Knowledge & Curriculum Partners: Help us ensure our curriculum remains at the cutting edge of international law, climate science, and Pacific policy. We invite academic institutions and legal experts to contribute masterclasses, research tools, and technical training modules that empower our Fellows with world-class expertise.

• Mentorship Partners: Share your wisdom with the next generation. We are looking for seasoned climate negotiators, CSO leaders, and community elders to provide one-on-one guidance. Your experience is the bridge that helps our Fellows navigate complex professional and advocacy landscapes.

• Internship & Placement Partners: Provide our Fellows with the "in the arena" experience they need to translate theory into practice. By hosting a Fellow within your organization or government ministry, you offer them an invaluable inside perspective on the region's climate response while benefiting from their technical skills and fresh insights.

• Government & Delegation Partners: This is our most critical partnership for systemic change. We seek to work with national governments to create structured pathways for our technically trained graduates to provide substantive support to official delegations. Together, we can move youth engagement beyond the margins and strengthen the Pacific’s collective voice at the UNFCCC COPs.
