Building A Better Tomorrow
Building A Better Tomorrow
We envision a sustainably thriving, equitable world for all. In this world, there is a widely believed and acted upon truth that we are one beloved community, and people care. Every government and community fosters safety and opportunity for even the most vulnerable, and every child has full access to education and a vibrant future. Our ecosystems and government systems are healthy and sustained. There are billions of connected community development professionals who model daily how to act as compassionate, capable, ethical and growth-centered leaders who wisely solve the great problems of our times.
Our Mission
International Leading Well Network helps the helpers around the globe. Whether they are working for healthier ecosystems; education, access and equity for all; accountability; or inclusive solutions to local conflicts, ILWN supports committed community development professionals so they can more effectively empower and advocate for those who may not have a voice. ILWN provides capacity building training, fosters connections among those doing similar work through monthly Communities of Practice, and offers micro loans and funding for innovative grassroots projects.
