Latin America and the Caribbean


Just as QLF's origins are in reaching out from the northeast US to eastern Canada, this program is QLF's effort to reach out across our hemisphere. From ancient migratory species to modern trade agreements, our cultures, societies and economies are increasingly linked.

The broad region also represents the longest commitment of QLF's international programs. Senior staff Jessica Brown and Brent Mitchell connected with QLF during a combined decade living and working in six countries of Latin America and the Caribbean.

QLF has program "alumni" in 26 countries, many of them heading key natural resource agencies or leading important NGOs.

Our evaluations show that alumni value the opportunity to interact with counterparts in very different parts of the hemisphere. Therefore, programs such as our Fellowship are usually open to qualified applicants from acros Latin America and the Caribbean. However, we also focus on specific sub-regions, as examples in succeeding pages illustrate.
