Why this belongs on a sustainability directory

Mission-driven organizations rarely have budget for corporate-grade leadership development, yet burnout and turnover in human rights and environmental work directly limits the reach of that work. The Kairos Project exists to close that gap, coaching the people who run the organizations tackling SDG 5 (Gender Equality) and SDG 16 (Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions) causes so they can keep doing it. Its own reinvestment model, as a B Corp coaching cooperative-style practice, feeds SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) directly.
