Resilience Canopy - Pathway to Practice - Alpine Valleys Community Leadership

Are You Ready to Step into Action?

We have partnered with The Resilience Canopy to deliver a Pathway to Practice pilot — connecting leadership with action on the ground to build stronger, future-ready communities.

Through this pilot, 10 AVCL Alumni have the opportunity to take part in the Resilience Canopy Practitioner Program at no cost.

The Resilience Canopy is a national movement supporting communities to lead their own resilience journey — building strength, connection, and readiness for the challenges they face. The program takes a different approach: one that’s self-determined, locally led, and backed by the tools, relationships, and partners needed to turn ideas into action.
