Program Categories
The Institute focuses on these broad program categories:
- Cross-sector Conferences. Today's complex environmental challenges can't be solved in isolation. They require a systemic approach, which, in turn, demands collaboration among individuals from the nonprofit, government and private sectors.
- Collaborative Leadership Trainings. These programs bring together leaders from around the world, teaching them to effectively manage their own organizations as well as integrate perspectives from other sectors into their ideas and actions.
- Action Summits. The Institute and its partners will design and facilitate gatherings that produce defined outcomes, such as guidelines for protected areas in urban environments or recommended standards for sustainability in national parks.
- Emerging Leaders Trainings. Building on work at the Conservancy's Crissy Field Center, these summits and conferences are designed to engage and inspire future environmental stewards. They will likely draw young people from around the world.
- Community Engagement. The Institute will offer public events, such as lecture series, for San Francisco Bay Area residents and Cavallo Point guests.
- Place-based Activities. The Institute can tailor guided off-site hikes, program tours and other adventures for meeting participants.
