Programs
2 programs
Inspiring the next generation: The Organization offers programs to inspire and educate an inclusive generation of wildlife champions. Our programs focus on middle school students in traditionally underestimated communities. We offer the Conservation Nation Academy program with an in-school curriculum focused on inspiring role model conservationists and experiences in nature. Our education programs aspire to develop a student's conservation mindset and ethic, to build their confidence and self-efficacy in conservation, and to cultivate future conservation champions and leaders.
Building communities and connections: The Organization cultivates a global community of people and organizations focused on amplifying different perspectives in conservation to solve urgent biodiversity challenges. Our unique value is stitching together funding, resources, education, and connections that individuals need to enter, stay, and thrive in conservation. Together with partner organizations, we offer networking and mentoring programs, public events, and strategic collaboration to leverage our collective strength to break down impediments with urgency, efficiency, and impact.
