QLF is a Not-for-Profit Organization in the U.S. and a Registered Charity in Canada. QLF fosters long-term leadership development within individuals and communities by supporting community-based conservation initiatives; developing models of stewardship of natural and cultural resources; and aiding in community service, economic development, and heritage preservation in rural regions.

Since the early 1960s, QLF has worked across borders to serve the communities of the Atlantic Region by working in partnership with communities and organizations from Long Island Sound to Labrador. For the last 30 years, QLF has also worked across international borders in Western Europe, Central and Southeast Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, and the Middle East, offering fellowships, exchanges, and leadership development for conservation leaders to focus on global challenges and provide dynamic and thoughtful leadership for the future.
