Seventh Generation Institute is active in three integrated program areas that serve our
mission.  We develop projects to carry out within these program areas based on need, the
extent to which we can contribute to lasting and sustainable solutions, readiness of the
project partners, and other criteria.

If your agency, organization or community group has a project that fits within these
program areas and you are interested in collaborating with us, please contact us.
