Energeia Partnership

The Energeia Partnership brings together a diverse group of ethical leaders from Long Island's public, private and not-for-profit sectors to help address this region's most complex issues: education, institutional racism, poverty and the working poor, land use, energy, transportation, healthcare and media/social networking.

Also known as the Academy for Regional Stewardship at Molloy University, Energeia is committed to educating leaders for the benefit of all people who live and work on Long Island. Each year, the program assembles a "class" of no more than 50 ethical, proven leaders that participates in a dynamic, two-year academy featuring a series of one-day programs, each focusing on a particular issue.
