CEIE Leadership Academy

At the CEIE Leadership Academy, we create useful low-cost resources for use in communities and classrooms. When we cultivate a sense of core purpose, awareness and wisdom grow, as does our leadership in responsibility to ourselves, to our communities, to the spaces where we work, and to the places we call home.
