ISC's mission is to help communities around the world address environmental, economic, and social challenges to build a better future shaped and shared by all. ISC is in the business of unleashing the power of people to transform their communities. Their approach ensures solutions emerge from within the community, rather than being imposed from the outside. By combining technical expertise and leadership training with strategic investments in local organizations, they spark creative solutions and lasting change. Since the founding in 1991 by former Vermont Governor Madeleine M. Kunin, ISC has led transformative community-driven projects across the globe. They garnered early recognition for connecting civic participation with environmental problem solving, and over the years they have developed an approach that accelerates a community's ability to meet challenges head on. Whether the challenge at hand is halting air and water pollution, catalyzing HIV/AIDS prevention campaigns, or training new civic leaders, their work is making a real difference in millions of lives across the world. They get people involved in shaping their future and cultivate local talent—enabling people to become strong advocates and effective leaders in their communities.
