Co-designing your group's pathway for the change your seek in the world.
"Being a part of the MLI cohort has connected me to so many other wonderful leaders working on climate justice. I appreciate MLI's commitment to connecting leaders together, and providing the resources to support with fundraising and operational challenges, which will help boost Tomorrow Movement's ability to have impact." Desiree Cai - National Director, Tomorrow Movement
"Being part of this transformative program and cohort has been invaluable for Climates. MLI has provided ongoing mentoring and financial support which has increased our capacity to achieve our goals of building the resilience of frontline communities to climate change." Farema Yazdi - Co-Director, Climates
"When I founded AAFCS, I had a vision of what I wanted our organisation to achieve, but I did not quite know how to get us there. MLI has been an amazing mentor; providing us with guidance and support so we could get on with our advocacy work and accelerate our impact." Corinne Ang - Founding CEO, Asian Australians for Climate Solutions (AAFCS)
"Thanks to the Multicultural Leadership Initiative, Divers for Climate has finally found its sea legs. The guidance and mentorship of the MLI team have made navigating the choppy waters of leading a non-profit, particularly as young women of colour, a little less daunting." Yolanda Waters - Founding CEO, Divers for Climate
