Natural Leaders Alliance Temily McCutcheon & Sarah Walker
What is the NLA? Mission: The Natural Leaders Alliance connects all Canadian youth to nature by empowering and supporting a strong network of leaders across the country that inspire positive social change. Vision: Our vision is for all young Canadians to love, lead and explore in nature.
Goals for 2014 • Build a Canadian identity in the movement to reconnect youth to nature. • Nationalize a youth core of Natural Leaders • Inspire and support youth to enjoy nature as they know it • Provide youth with meaningful resources and leadership training
How Did We Get Here? • Our “Why” – The Child and Nature Movement • Richard Louv – “Last Child in the Woods” • The Children and Nature Network • The Child & Nature Alliance of Canada
Where Are We Now? Current Initiatives: • Core Team • Toolbox • Community initiatives Future Initiatives: • Natural Leaders Summit • Regional Hubs
