Leadership & SDG Awareness
Eco Warriors develops confident, inclusive leaders who can turn global goals into action in their schools and communities. The programme equips student leaders, youth volunteers and community champions to understand the Sustainable Development Goals and use them to guide practical local change. Its leadership model centres disability inclusion, peer mentoring, volunteering and community action. Young people are supported to create welcoming spaces, mobilise others and champion equality, health, climate action and accountable development.
Our goal
Mentor a generation of inclusive leaders who connect local priorities to the Sustainable Development Goals and lead practical, community-owned solutions.

Disability Inclusiveness
Disability Inclusiveness supports schools and youth leadership spaces to become welcoming, accessible and representative of persons with disabilities. It challenges exclusionary practices and helps student leaders design participation that respects different needs, voices and abilities. The project treats inclusion as a core measure of good leadership, not an optional add-on.

SDG Mentorship
SDG Mentorship pairs student leaders with volunteers and mentors who help them connect the Sustainable Development Goals to challenges in their own schools and communities. Learners develop practical leadership plans around equality, health, climate action and responsible citizenship. The project has helped student leaders become SDG ambassadors who can communicate the Global Goals clearly and turn them into locally owned action.
