Use this directory to browse profiles of all 29 leaders who have participated in the Wild Gift program since its founding in 2002.  The profiles include the status of their Wild Gift projects and current work.  The 2002-03 pilot classes participated in a 20-day deep wilderness experience in Alaska.  Inspired by the dialogue that transpired, these leader participants asked for a program that would support initiatives for better world entrepreneurship.  Since then, each succeeding class has completed a 17-month program incorporating both the deep wilderness experience and a year's support to launch self-designed projects that benefit wild nature and humankind.
