🌎 Fearlessly Forward: Give Boldly. Act Now.

Fifteen years ago, The CLEO Institute was born from a simple truth: people protect what they love. What began as a spark of climate education in Miami has grown into a fearless movement — led by women, powered by youth, and grounded in science and justice.

Fifteen years later, our mission has never felt more urgent — or more hopeful.

We’ve seen what happens when knowledge meets courage. Teachers transforming classrooms into hubs of action. Women preparing their neighborhoods for heat and hurricanes. Youth leaders changing policy at city halls across Florida.

This is what courage looks like. And with your help, we’re ready to go fearlessly forward into the next chapter.

💚 Why This Moment Matters

Florida is on the frontlines of the climate crisis. But it’s also home to people with the passion and power to change the story. That’s where CLEO comes in.
