Problems of the scale we face will require widespread systems change: deep shifts in our values and how we view the world, followed by individual changes in the ways we live and growing participation to push for equitable systemic change. 

The ECP works with the movement builders of our generation: young people bringing their idealism, intelligence, and innovation to the task of winning progress on their campuses and in their communities; and citizen-leaders bringing wisdom, experience and power to their work for community, regional and societal change.

These are the leaders that will serve as a bridge to a more equitable and regenerative future.

While we live in a time that is more virtually connected than any time before, we believe that shared experiences and face-to-face interaction remain a vital part of building movements. We bring emerging and experienced leaders from regional colleges and universities and local community groups to convenings on Longhaul Farm, creating opportunities to experience sustainable living, learn from each other, build personal relationships, strengthen change campaigns, and contribute to the movement afoot.
