Summer 2024 marks the end of a 12 year journey over which we worked with thousands of students from all over the world.
Our mission to cultivate the next generation of environmental leaders speaks to the critical importance of action across all sectors and geographies of society. We are proud of the programs we ran, the partnerships we built, and the impact we created. Our alumni are leading change as entrepreneurs, investors, policymakers, activists, and everyday heroes that make the world a slightly better place through their advocacy of sustainability in organizations large and small.
When you start a nonprofit organization you commit yourself to big, difficult to solve problems. Unfortunately, though we tried mightily for more than a decade, we could never quite figure out how to solve that most fundamental question facing any organization: financial sustainability. As of August 2024, the Board of Directors decided to cease operations and pursue dissolution of Sustainable Learning, Inc with the Office of the Attorney General of the State of New York. To reach this decision, the board carefully weighed the operational efforts and resources required to continue and determined that the organization lacked the financial resources to do so. Sustainable Learning is now in the process of winding down operations, which we expect to take 6-12 months. Any questions can be directed to info at sustainablesummer dot org.
