Preparing smart, heart-engaged leaders to change the world.

Through our courses and consulting services, Evolution University is changing paradigms for what we learn and how we lead to better our lives today and create the sustainable future we want and need. Our unique EVOLVE Sustainability Framework™, CC Stakeholder Engagement Model™, open communication practices, and innovative learning philosophies transform the way individuals and organizations think, act, and engage with one another and our planet. 

Sparking Imagination

  • We believe the highest expression and purpose of leaders today is to redirect our business and organizational activities toward ones where people and the planet thrive in the process of creating and consuming products and services.
  • We believe compassion is the antidote to unsustainability and flips the singular drive for profits and the pursuits of the ego to more holistic and prosperous outcomes.
  • We believe our heart is the greatest power center in our body, and when engaged, it shapes better decision-making and actions in business and, therefore, our world.
  • We imagine a world that is greener, cleaner, healthier, more beautiful, more inclusive, and more connected than what we experience today.
  • We imagine a world where universities, business schools, companies, governments, and organizations of all types collaborate to improve the conditions and experiences of people and the planet without causing harm in the process.
  • We believe that with the right tools, guidance, creativity, and incredible will, we can succeed and create a better world for today and future generations.

Our founder, Joni Roberts, at the United Nations NYC for Global Goals Week.

Evolution University is a partner for the United Nations Foundation Global Goals Week, and through our commitments with the Council for Inclusive Capitalism, we are on our way to engage 10,000 people in dialogue about how the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) offer a blueprint for meaningful action in our homes, communities, and workplaces. 


Based in Jacksonville, Florida, USA, Evolution University was born global in 2020 and has welcomed members from over 50 countries across five continents. In 2026, E.U. became a benefit corporation, protecting our legal right to operate with a stakeholder approach with people and the planet at the center of everything we do.

Creators of the EVOLVE Sustainability Framework™ and Learning Journeys

We believe our EVOLVE Sustainability Framework and learning journeys can change the world by making sustainability the way we do things. The framework is universal to all organizational types, sizes, and sectors and is highly relatable for everyone to participate from evaluation and imagination sessions to innovation sprints to the implementation of comprehensive strategic plans.

Our unique learning philosophy is based on developing the mindsets and skillsets for today and the future.

Five Sustainability Mindsets

  • Global
  • Compassion
  • Abundance
  • Growth
  • Changemaker

Five Cognitive Skillsets

  • Systems thinking
  • Circular thinking
  • Futures thinking
  • Design thinking
  • Strategic thinking

Evolution University is the way of the future, where people gain diverse skills with certifications that improve competencies and increase contribution levels. EU is similar to a corporate university like Apple University, where employees learn to think like Steve Jobs, and Disney University, where employees are immersed in the Disney way. At Evolution University, you learn to become a sustainability leader, and instead of being for employees only, we are open to everyone, everywhere. EU is not a traditional university or a degree-granting institution. All courses are offered as continuing education and professional development. Online courses provide a certificate of completion that can be framed and shared digitally on social media.

Values that shape our customer programs and services.

Quality Education

Our courses take you on inspiring journeys where you will discover more about yourself and your interconnectedness with the world. Courses integrate our unique practices and frameworks and are designed to be engaging, thought-provoking, impact-focused, and action-oriented. 

Competency

Evolution University is where you level up your competencies to make meaningful change today and create a better future. You will learn how to become an inspiring leader, collaborator, innovator, and purpose-driven changemaker.

Community

We believe connection with others is a key success factor for taking on challenges and persevering. We have community built into our school and our courses where you can meet one another and share knowledge, insights, and ideas.

Empowerment

We believe education is a pathway to empower smart, compassionate people around the world to make positive change. These efforts become exponential when aligned with the Global Goals and standards that unify us. 

Impact

It's one thing to say let's create a better world, and a more challenging undertaking to make it happen. Earning a certificate readies you to take action and apply the mindsets and skillsets needed to be successful in the real world right away.

Spirit of Giving

When you give, you grow. Evolution University is a member of Pledge 1%, a global movement in which giving is integrated into the DNA of companies of all sizes. We've pledged a minimum of 1% of profits, product, and time to improving the lives of people and the condition of our planet. So far we've given away MORE than that!
