Our Vision

We live in a time of technological, political, economic and social disruption. The stakes are high for all of us. As daunting as some of our challenges are, we believe human beings are capable of great things. Today's era of disruption provides us with a real opportunity for systemic change, so let's make sure to take it.

Our vision is a world in which the rights of all people and our planet are upheld, enabling human beings to thrive, collaborate and build life-sustaining societies. A world where money flows in service of this vision, not just profit.

We understand this vision to be emergent. We’ll work with a diversity of changemakers to ignite our collective potential and support a myriad of innovative solutions to constantly evolving challenges. The way forward is about joining forces, across silos, sectors and world views.

What we do

Since Spring's founding in 2004, we've created transformative programs, strategies and tools that respond to the needs of our clients in the fields of civil society and social change. We've helped them make leaps of leadership in their communities, organizations, networks — even on the world stage.

We offer highly customized trainings across three programs:

We also offer social impact consulting in these areas.

We believe that if we support leaders at the forefront of social and climate justice worldwide to strengthen their individual and collective capacities to navigate complexity, power, conflict, and join forces with others, then we can dismantle oppressive power structures and plant the seeds of new systems at an accelerated pace.

How we work

Our customized approach builds on the unique strengths and potential of each individual, team or organization. We'll encourage you to step outside of your comfort zone and take leaps of leadership.

We create environments for learning, creativity and innovation through challenging conversations, out-of-the-box thinking and hands-on practice. We're driven by practicality, which is why we bring cutting-edge ideas to the table in a down-to-earth way of working.
