Our mission is to accelerate social change in Kosovo by investing in its youth. We want to achieve that by offering (1) non-formal education and (2) service learning programs, which help young people become equipped and motivated to become agents of positive social change. Our programs are divided in two main pillars: 1. Youth education and development - that focuses on personal and leadership development, social skills, civic education and environmental awareness. 2. Youth community service learning - that aim to incentivize and encourage youth to serve their community with their new knowledge, confidence, and skills gained during TOKA programs. In all that we do, we have a special focus in youth from disadvantaged communities, and provide opportunities to those who struggle to reach their full potential due to their socio-economic circumstances to be empowered. Our vision is an empowered and skilled Kosovar youth, who are the leaders of change tomorrow.

Founded by world-renowned conservationist Lawrence Anthony in 2003, our mission is to reverse the decline of the natural world, upon which all life depends for its survival.  Through education and the implementation of effective solutions, we help people increase their understanding that none of us survive alone - that all life does best when it works together with other life. This better connects everyone with the natural world, resulting in more constructive problem solving. As industry, governments, communities and individuals adopt this way of thinking and working, the world is better protected and restored.

Save the Bay™, and keep it saved, as defined by reaching a 70 on CBF's Health Index. The Chesapeake Bay Foundation's (CBF) mission, simply stated, is to Save the Bay and keep it saved. We define a Saved Bay as having a score of 70 (out of 100) on CBF's State of the Bay health index. Thanks largely to a dramatic reduction in the amount of pollution entering the system, at 70, the Chesapeake Bay and its tributary rivers will be highly productive and in good health as measured by established water-quality standards. The result will be clear water, free of impacts from toxic contaminants, and healthy oxygen levels, able to support living resources in all parts of the Bay.
