Leadership Residency & Internships
The Hazel Henderson Center's Leadership Residency invites scholars, writers, activists, researchers, artists, and entrepreneurs to live and work at the Center, with full access to Hazel Henderson's living library and a stipend to help cover the cost of their stay. Residencies run one to four weeks, September through May.
The Hazel Henderson Center offers internship opportunities for undergraduate students who want to do hands-on, meaningful work in the green economy. Interns contribute to real projects across community programming, communications, and social enterprise — all rooted in Hazel Henderson's vision of an ethical and sustainable economic future.
Program Partner Meetings
We welcome groups to host meetings, conferences, and retreats that foster innovative ideas and meaningful solutions aimed at restoring balance in our world. Rooted in lived experience, these gatherings are designed to enhance collaborative learning and inspire collective action. We invite changemakers dedicated to integrative approaches in environmental protection, social entrepreneurship, ethical governance and other areas central to Hazel’s work.
Research Library & Post Doc Fellowships
Focused primarily on modern economics, environmentalism, world history, and futurist studies, the Hazel Henderson Library comprises approximately 5,600 cataloged materials, as well as over 1,000 issues of journals and quarterlies, many of which are now out of print.
This collection functions as an archive of Hazel’s thoughts, ideas, and recommendations. Thousands of these materials have been extensively annotated by her as she studied their content, her notes preserved for decades between the pages.
The Post-Doctoral Residency Program offers fellows dedicated time and space to pursue independent research projects within one or more of Hazel Henderson’s seven identified priority areas of global change: technology and production; employment, work, and migration; trade, finance, debt, and information; peacebuilding and the impacts of militarization; pollution and resource depletion; consumption patterns and global culture; and social and institutional restructuring. Fellows draw upon the Center’s extraordinary intellectual resources—including a living library of more than 5,600 books, publications, and 1,000+ journal issues—alongside the archives, professional networks, and programmatic community of the Center itself.
