There are hundreds of thousands of people across the globe who can imagine a different, more sustainable future, but don’t know how to go about creating it. The Centre for Sustainability Leadership is designed to bridge this gap by empowering people to make their communities more sustainable.

The Centre for Sustainability Leadership has two main programs:

The Centre for Sustainability Leadership Fellowship Program.

A scholarship-based eight-month fellowship for top emerging sustainability leaders that includes weekly workshops, creating innovative sustainability projects, retreats and mentorship from top leaders. Graduates are supported by an Alumni Program of committed sustainability leaders. The Fellowship Program started in Melbourne in 2005. It expanded to encompass Sydney in 2008, and will be going global the following year.

The Global Future Sustainability Leaders program.

An online sustainability leadership program available to young people across the globe which uses technology such as streamed, video-based lectures with global experts, podcasts that teach key sustainability leadership skills, and study groups that bring young people together in a global classroom. This program will be launched in early 2009.
The Centre also provides support to young people trying to make their communities and workplaces more sustainable through monthly newsletters and podcasts which develop sustainability leadership capacity. Our Speakers Bureau provides passionate and informed young sustainability leaders to speak at events, schools and workplaces.

This work is supported by:

• Advice and support from sustainability leaders across the globe
• Volunteers based in Melbourne as well as remotely
• Interns who continually improve and update all aspect of our program
• Partner organisations who provide expert support in all areas of operation
• Individual donors
