The Environmental Leadership Program is an organization dedicated to the development of new leadership talent in environmental research and development. They “nurture a new generation of environmental leadership characterized by diversity, innovation, collaboration, and effective communications. ELP addresses the needs of relatively new environmental activists and professionals by:
- Connecting them with peers through local and national networks;
Providing training and other learning opportunities to develop their leadership capacity;
Linking them with experienced environmental leaders through substantive interactions and mentoring opportunities;
Offering activity grants and technical support to help them implement innovative projects; and
Focusing attention on the need for the environmental community to nurture the next generation of leaders.
“The centerpiece of ELP’s work is the ELP Fellowship Program, which annually selects approximately twenty individuals with demonstrated talent and potential to participate in a two-year leadership development fellowship.”
