Systems Approaches for Social Change EVI's mission is to inspire, connect, mentor, and train community members - especially youth - to develop as socially and environmentally committed practitioners, entrepreneurs, and ambassadors of sustainable development.EVI supports micro and small enterprises that move beyond the greening of practices to providing products and services that enhance and protect local resources, meet the demands of the marketplace, and provide youth with a greater sense of where they fit into their community and the world.We believe that environmental challenges can be addressed through the development of products and services that provide both business opportunities and environmentally sustainable alternatives to individuals and communities.
