Cultivating Community Leaders

To empower individuals to become catalysts for positive change within their communities. Through education, mentorship, and collaborative initiatives, we aim to foster the development of compassionate, visionary leaders dedicated to creating sustainable solutions to local challenges. By cultivating a culture of inclusivity, empathy, and innovation, we strive to build resilient communities of females and those who identify as female leaders where every voice is heard, every talent is valued. Individuals are empowered to make a meaningful difference.

BIPOC and other marginalized leaders are exhausted, often overriding instincts of self-care and pushing through because of the importance of “the work”. These leaders are overworked, underpaid, and under-resourced. Yet, these are the same leaders who are at the forefront of advancing racial, social, environmental, and economic justice for our communities. 

Participants will leave with a:

• A deeper understanding of the importance of self-care, ways to practice it in their everyday lives, and a commitment to helping each other maintain this practice.

• An increased appreciation for the Adirondack Park and increased comfort in nature, using it as a healing force for themselves and their communities.

• A network and commitment to working together to support and strengthen their communities.
