The program is designed to be a community-learning experience that brings people together across the environmental sector to connect, share valuable knowledge, and explore collaborative pathways forward.

EcologyShifts is designed for people who are in environmental and related fields in Maine who have a desire for organizational and systems change and are committed to working cooperatively and collaboratively.

How Are We Defining Environment?

We see the environmental field encompassing a broad web of interconnected and interdependent partners spanning all sectors of society.  Our goal is to bring people together from across this field to increase cross-sector understanding and build relationships and partnerships.


We will begin recruiting the 2025/26 cohort this spring. The application portal will be opened on March 31, 2025
