Emirates Nature - WWF

Programmes

• Connect with Nature

• Leaders of Change

  The Leaders of Change programme empowers organisations and individuals across the UAE with training, networking and volunteering opportunities designed to develop the professional skills required for excellence in the workplace, and to promote the personal and emotional growth necessary to become responsible global citizens. The year-long programme takes members through an enriching journey that offers three types of experiences: train, ideate and act. Members have the opportunity to upskill themselves to unlock their full potential, co-create the blueprint for sustainable development as part of a community of action and participate in self-led and field activities that safeguard the UAE’s natural heritage. By working together, this wide collaborative network of volunteers has the power to take collective action and deliver transformative impact at scale for sustainability and nature in the UAE.
