Interview with Kevin Danaher

Educate and Inspire

The Center will create and deliver programs that give people an educational “experience” of the current challenges to sustainability and social justice. These programs will convey, in an observable and tangible sense, how our individual and collective choices influence the human and natural environment. These programs will also help to dispel misconceptions regarding the true costs, benefits, and availability of sustainable alternatives.

The expected outcomes and success indicators of this objective are to:

Increase the efficacy of the Center’s network of aligned organizations by increasing their public visibility through association with the Center, as indicated by Center visitation rates, program participation trends, and periodic surveys conducted by the Center to measure public awareness of network organizations and their work;
Increase public understanding of sustainability and social justice issues, challenges, and opportunities, as indicated by periodic qualitative research, conducted by the Center, to assess the impact of its educational experiences;
Shift public perceptions regarding sustainability and social justice, making these issues culturally appealing, i.e., hip and current, as indicated by periodic qualitative research, conducted by the Center, to assess public perceptions; and
Support the implementation of public policies that are conducive to sustainability and social justice, as indicated by the number of such policies the Center’s network of aligned organizations helped to enact.
