Enviro Leaders Academy

What is the EnviroLeaders Academy (EL)?

A leadership development program for those who want to become an organic gardening, food security and environmental trainer in their community. Participants receive training in growing food (indoors and outdoors), composting, public speaking, and developing professional hands-on presentations/workshops. These are volunteer positions with Access Alliance. EnviroLeaders will also get access to paid opportunities and certificates.

The EnviroLeaders is for both youth and adults. Gardening or presentation experience is not necessary. Training sessions take place at AccessPoint on Danforth.

We are not currently accepting applications for new EnviroLeaders. This program is on hiatus…we are germinating seeds for a new program to grow! EnviroLeaders will be up and running again in the future…stay tuned.
