Practical Skills and Leadership for a Sustainable World

Sustainable Vocations offers young people (ages 15-24) the unique,  
hands-on opportunity to study and participate in various green  
technologies and design strategies, develop leadership skills, and  
experience living in a sustainable community.

In addition to serving as a holistic education and leadership program,  
graduates receive an internationally recognized Permaculture Design  
Certification. Permaculture is an integrative design science for the  
creation of sustainable human settlement. Its holistic, systems-based  
principles can be applied to all settings, and permaculture represents  
a growing profession worldwide.
