Uniting people across cultures in service to environmental and human well-being.
What We Do
Sustainability Initiatives
We work with community
organizations around the world to facilitate environmental stewardship projects.
Global Engagement
We foster cross-cultural engagement between our partners to share knowledge, skills, and ideas.
Meaningful Involvement
We are a growing
community of global citizens immersed in
service, learning, and
culture.
Resource
Investment
We're investing in nature.
​
We believe that long-term economic stability is not possible if natural support systems are degraded along the way. It must come from a positive process of restoration and regeneration of the natural resource base that forms the foundation of a community's economy.
We're taking the long view.
​
We believe development should proceed in harmony with a community's culture and environment. Our projects are designed with each partner's long-term vision and well-being in mind, and our community partners take the lead in guiding our work.
Vital
Engagement
We're bringing people together.
​
We believe there's a lot we can learn from each other! Our opportunities for cross-cultural engagement will allow participants from diverse communities to visit and interact, sharing their unique ideas, knowledge, and skills for building sustainability at a global scale.
Our Mission
Strive facilitates environmental stewardship and sustainability initiatives with community partners around the world, using these initiatives to foster cross-cultural engagement, understanding, and knowledge exchange.

Our Core Values
"There are two things that interest me: the relation of people to each other and the relation of people to the land."
-Aldo Leopold
If we work together, we can help our communities and our planet thrive.
