Our Mission
Educate current and future leaders, as well as the local community,
on the need to integrate environmental, economic, and social equity
issues in order to live sustainably and ensure a high quality of life
for future generations.
About the Institute
We are a 501(c)(3) public charity based in Sonoma County and dedicated
to insuring a sustainable future for California's North Coast. Our
goal is to train people committed to a sustainable future to be more
effective leaders, and to educate community leaders and the public
to understand that the future of our economy and quality of life are
dependent on each other.
Our work focuses on four programs.
- Leadership Training
for a Sustainable Future -- to develop the capabilities
of people who want to lead to study issues and the political system
in order to be more effective in shaping public policy to achieve
a sustainable future.
- Policy-Maker
Outreach -- to educate public policy-makers with non-partisan
analysis, studies, and research to assist them in leading the
community to a sustainable future.
- Public
Education -- provide information about current issues
and links to resources and other organizations that support sustainable
development and lifestyles.
- Community
Networking -- give program graduates and community leaders
the opportunity to share visions, test ideas, and seek
solutions for a sustainable future.
"Never doubt that a small group of
thoughtful, committed citizens can change theworld.
Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." - Margaret
