The CALI Foundation seeks to identify and foster the leadership needed to promote a more just and equitable Central America.
THE IMPORTANCE OF LEADERSHIP

Human problems were created by us, therefore they require solutions by humans - solutions by leaders driven by values and community, rather than ego and self-interest.
Authentic, values-driven leaders make a significant impact on their communities and society when they are activated..
