Exness and Wild Hometown: A Strategic Partnership
Exness, a global financial services provider, has recently announced a strategic partnership with the Wild Hometown Movement. This collaboration aims to leverage Exness's resources and network to support environmental exness download education and conservation efforts spearheaded by young leaders around the world.
Shared Goals and Vision
Both Exness and the Wild Hometown Movement share a commitment to sustainable development and environmental protection. By partnering, they hope to amplify their impact and reach a wider audience, inspiring more young people to take action in their communities.
Supporting Environmental Education

This global outreach is expected to foster a more inclusive and diverse environmental movement, bringing together young people from different cultural backgrounds to work towards common conservation goals.

Empowering our generation to love and protect our wild homes
What is the Wild Hometown Movement?
- Start: We are inspiring and supporting young people all over the world to start their own groups and initiatives. We've enabled young people to start 10 active Wild Hometown groups in the US, China, Bangladesh, Nigeria, and Singapore!
- Support: We provide mentorship and resources for new groups to grow and take meaningful action. In partnership with ALPINE (Academics for Land Protection in New England), we created the Wild Hometown Toolkit, a comprehensive guide to help get your club off the ground.
- Connect: We connect young environmental leaders from around the world with our Vision Board that charts the future of our movement and a Facebook group.
What's our Solution?
- Connect with local nature—Students get together to go outside whenever they can, forging new friendships alongside a deeper connection to their homes
- Understand our environment and the crisis it faces on a deeply local, rather than abstract level
- Collaborate with diverse actors in our community, including conservation and social justice groups, to build a local, inter-generational, coalition for action that combines the strengths and perspective of each member.
- Lead the potential of young people to be ambassadors for nature and our future. Every person in our clubs can have the chance to connect their own passions and talents with our mission—whether they want to create art, write op-eds, or teach others about the life around them.
