Apply to be a Facilitator and/or Mentor
We are accepting applications for up to 15 paid facilitators & a number of mentors for a course on AI & animals.
  • Facilitators lead 12 participants in structured discussions (following a provided template) on assigned readings. Facilitating is different from teaching: rather than convey your own knowledge, the goal is to help participants articulate their thoughts via a collaborative & active learning process.
  • Mentors supervise 1-4 participants during the project phase of the course, during which they create an original contribution to the field of AI & animals. This can be anything from research articles, policy memos/frameworks, surveys, technical demos, or more.
You can apply to be both a facilitator & a mentor.
✅  Qualifications: Facilitating or mentoring is a great opportunity to develop your leadership & teaching skills, as well as to gain experience mediating & communicating across individuals of different backgrounds. Ideal candidates have significant interest or experience in AI & animal advocacy– but just as important is previous experience either facilitating, teaching, &/or mentoring.
  • Facilitators: Previous facilitation experience (e.g. with BlueDot Impact, EA Fellowships, or other courses) as well as teaching experience is a strong plus.
  • Mentors: We’re looking for more senior professionals across research, industry, policy, & related sectors. Mentoring is a chance to share your experience with the next generation of changemakers & maximise the success & impact of their projects & careers.
If you are unsure about your fit, we encourage you to apply anyway– just as our learners come from a variety of diverse backgrounds, so should our facilitators & mentors.

📆 Time frame & commitment
  • Facilitators: ~25 hours total from November to February (training, icebreaker, weekly prep/sessions)
  • Mentors: >10 hours total from January to February (weekly sessions + office hours)
Experienced facilitators/mentors may take on more than 1 cohort/several mentees. If you are unsure & would first like to participate in the Futurekind Fellowship as a learner, then we encourage you to apply by November 1.

🌟 If you know anyone else who might be a good fit for our programme (as either a learner, facilitator, or mentor), please refer them!

If you have any questions, please contact Aditya S. Karanam (aditya@electricsheep.is), the Director of Learner Experience.
