When we started our community organisation over a decade ago, our goal was to lead sustainability educators towards a sustainable future.

The planet’s current climate emergency means we need to help all citizens take bold and urgent action for zero carbon living.

Today we work to empower leaders from all walks of life to lead positive impact in their homes, workplace and community.

Our Development Pathway has been created to offer different entry levels to participants.

Whether they are looking for inspiration, practical ideas, support with planning or one on one coaching – we offer a range of opportunities to get involved and build your capacity to lead positive impact.

ECO CHAMPIONS YOUTH FORUM

This forum was held in the Mornington Shire and attended by 100 students and 11 local environmental groups.  The idea was to bring these groups together so they could understand each other’s challenges and then start working together on shared environmental projects in the local region. It was a great day that created long lasting relationships and saw a range of successful on ground projects.
