LEAP Sustainability Fellowship

Overview

The LEAP Sustainability Fellowship is a training and development program focused on building residents’ sustainability and community leadership capacity. Through the program our fellows develop community projects, apply for grant funds to support the projects, and implement them with the help of the community.
