At the Institute for Conservation Leadership, we empower leaders with training and we build volunteer institutions that protect and conserve the Earth's environment. We do this by helping leaders lead better, building connections between groups with similar goals, and supporting groups' progress with fundraising, board development, and other activities. We exist because we think that preserving the environment is one of the most important things we can do. We want to help leaders lead better, and organizations get stronger. Adults retain knowledge, develop talents and change habits or attitudes only when they are motivated and involved in the training process.
People learn through experience, by doing a task and receiving feedback.
Learning how to give and receive honest feedback is a basic part of our process. The philosophy of the Institute is based on our knowledge that empowering people who care for the Earth and its inhabitants is the final step in building an effective constituency and truly making a difference.
