Since 1994, the Leave No Trace program has been managed by the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics, a [[501(c)(3)]] non-profit organization, dedicated to the responsible enjoyment and active stewardship of the outdoors worldwide.<ref name="lnthome">{{cite web | url = http://lnt.org/ | title = Center for Outdoor Ethics | publisher = Leave No Trace | access-date = 2006-08-03}}</ref> Leave No Trace works to build awareness, appreciation and respect for wildlands through education, research, [[Volunteering|volunteerism]] and partnerships. The center also has a youth education initiative, Leave No Trace for Every Kid, which emphasizes asset development in youth through the lens of outdoor stewardship.

The center has partnerships with the [[National Park Service]], the [[U.S. Forest Service]], the [[Bureau of Land Management]], the [[U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service]],<ref name="lntnp">{{Cite web|url=http://www.lnt.org/support/nonprofits.php|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110205153039/http://lnt.org/support/nonprofits.php|url-status=dead|title=LNT Non-profit Partners|archivedate=February 5, 2011}}</ref> [[US Army Corps of Engineers]], and other partners such as colleges, universities, guide services, small businesses, non-profits and youth-serving organizations such as the [[Boy Scouts of America]] and the [[American Camp Association]].
