Mission

Natural Leaders is regenerative education for youth and their educators/support people.  We learn skills not merely of sustainability, which just maintains the current status quo, but of repairing what has been damaged.  We work on a holistic level, applying principles of permaculture to human and land relationships.   We teach principles of nature connection and peace through our work with rangitahi, youth, and through educating educators.  We leave people and places better than we find them.  We equip youth with practical skills, ecological knowledge, and leadership experience, so they can grow into the leaders the world needs.

Vision

Developing future elders who think seven generations ahead equipped with skills to navigate a rapidly changing future.
