Mission
Engage Globally supports community-led sustainable development
Vision
​Sustainable development for all 


Community Collaboration

Engage Globally identifies community leaders who have developed creative local education and conservation projects, but who need additional support to achieve their goals. By working with experienced local leaders, Engage is able to maximize the impact of small donations and technical assistance.

We believe that local leaders are best equipped to identify and articulate priorities and to be sustainable and effective change makers in their communities.

We believe local and global collaboration will be needed to achieve sustainability. To support individuals and their communities in pursuing sustainable lives, Engage Globally provides a variety of educational resources on education, conservation, women's empowerment, and other issues. Please contact us if you would like more info

 Organization Founding                

As a former urban educator, Heather Heckel has long been committed to educational issues. Later, as an Assistant Professor in sustainability at American University, Heather,  had the opportunity to study and observe global education and sustainable development programs in many countries. Building upon these experiences, inspirational meetings with local community leaders, and growing recognition of the potential of ‘engaging globally’, Heather collaborated with several colleagues, to establish a non-profit organization.
