The Young Leaders Award is a year-long program that supports passionate, young leaders who are vital agents of change and innovators of solutions for our planet.
The inaugural cohort retreat was an in-person gathering with programmatic opportunities to learn, problem-solve, and lead. Above all, we hoped the time together was meaningful and inspirational, while relaxing and fun!
