Recognizing the vision and impact of student and young professional leaders is at the heart of the NWF EcoLeaders Online Community. For years, emerging changemakers have been driving sustainability and environmental progress on their campuses and in their communities. The NWF EcoLeaders Program elevates these efforts—bringing national attention to their projects, honoring their leadership, and guiding them on the path from Project Certification to EcoLeader Certification.

The Certified EcoLeader Project Badge honors EcoLeader Projects and their teams, highlighting the measurable impact your project or campaign has on the environment. Project Certification is a key step to earning the top-level NWF EcoLeader Certification.
