Background

About Colleen Sorto

I’m a mission-driven program manager, inclusive facilitator, and optimistic change agent with 15+ years of experience advancing social and environmental impact through strategic partnerships, training, and community-led development. I’ve led global initiatives at the nexus of conservation, gender equity, human rights, and health—co-creating tools, trainings, and strategies to strengthen programming in over a dozen countries. I specialize in translating complex ideas into practical, scalable solutions and building cross-sector teams that drive results. Whether facilitating a leadership skills workshop, designing a multi-country grant program, or embedding equity into institutional strategy, I bring a collaborative spirit, systems-thinking mindset, and deep respect for local knowledge. I’m passionate about supporting people and organizations to lead change from within—and am seeking new opportunities with social impact organizations or companies where I can contribute to meaningful, measurable outcomes for people and the planet.
