Welcome to the State Environmental Leadership Program
The State Environmental Leadership Program (SELP) is a staff-supported network of independent environmental activist organizations that focus on state level policy to preserve, protect and enhance the natural and human environment, and the health and quality of life for all people.
Our Mission:
SELP protects and restores America's environment by strengthening and networking smart, powerful and well run state environmental advocacy organizations.
Our Vision:
Every state will have at least one state policy organization that is smart, powerful and well run:
Smart: strategically guided; clearly defined and followed mission; active and engaged board; cultural competency
Powerful: no significant environmental decision is made in a state without our group’s knowledge and consent.
Well run: effective financial tools and management, effective personnel management tools, competitive staff compensation, diverse and stable funding.
"To achieve comprehensive improvements to environmental policies in America, you must have strong, state-focused environmental groups. SELP helps make that happen."
- Adam Snyder, Conservaion Alabama
