The Leadership Northeast Core Class of 2025 is proud to launch Conservation Collective, an initiative to inspire children to explore the natural wonders of northeastern Pennsylvania. Through interactive Conservation Corners in local libraries, we’re connecting kids to the outdoors and fostering a love for nature.

Together, we can nurture the next generation of environmental stewards and celebrate the beauty of northeastern Pennsylvania.

What is Leadership Northeast?
Leadership Northeast (LNE) is a community leadership development organization created in 1981. Its mission is to develop informed and committed leaders from all segments of the community who will serve, strengthen and improve Northeastern Pennsylvania. LNE runs six programs for participants that range in age from high school students to executives at the height of their career. Programs focus on leadership development, community awareness and connection. These experiences offer members of the workforce and the community the opportunity to develop professionally and personally and learn how they can affect positive change and progress in the region they call home.

What is the Community Impact Project?
The Community Impact Project component of the Leadership Northeast experience is meant to serve several purposes. Classmates work together to design and execute a project that fulfills a community need. In doing so, participants apply the leadership development skills they learn throughout the year, while making a critical and positive impact on the community. Participants must work through their differences of opinion, behavior, and perspectives and find a common ground.
