Lead with purpose. Learn through action.
The Leaders in Environmental Action for the Future (LEAF) Initiative empowers WPI students to become changemakers in sustainability, conservation, environmental justice and environmental stewardship.
Through a multi-term journey that combines coursework, mentorship, and hands-on engagement, the program helps students from STEM fields and beyond explore what it means to lead, in nature, in communities, and in their careers.
