CoEco Community Leadership Program

For community groups, youth organizations, and environmental clubs ready to turn local environmental awareness into measurable, lasting action.

Program Overview

Community-Led Conservation in Action

The CoEco Community Leadership Program brings Cooperative Ecology training to community groups and organizations outside the traditional school setting — including youth leadership programs, environmental clubs, faith communities, and civic organizations.

The program is structured around one core principle: communities are the most powerful force for environmental change when they have the knowledge and tools to act. CoEco provides both.

Participants complete TEO's Cooperative Ecology curriculum and then develop a community conservation action plan specific to their local environment — with ongoing support from TEO field scientists.
