Founded:1997
Mission:
The Stone Soup
Leadership Institute develops educational tools, trainings, initiatives
to prepare young and emerging leaders to build a more sustainable
world. The Institute brings the Stone Soup fable to life,
inspiring people to give their gifts so together we can feed the hunger
in our souls and the hunger in the world. Our book and
educational curriculum, Stone Soup for the World: Life-Changing Stories
of Everyday Heroes which were written on the Vineyard features the
story of two Vineyard farmers Andrew Woodruff and Rick Anderson who
rallied the community to rebuild the island’s beloved old Ag Hall in
1995.
"Stone Soup for the World: Life-Changing Stories of Everyday Heroes is
a blueprint for building a better world. Its heroes are legendary
people and ordinary folks who, by conviction, imagination, innovation,
persistence, frequently hard work, and not infrequently moral or
physical courage, have lifted their neighbors and their communities.
They challenge each of us to respond in kind." -- Walter Cronkite
Major Programs:

They develop individualized action plans to work towards their personal, professional, island and planetary goals.
