Joining the Youth led Environment Movement as Directors at Green the Gene's Global Board |
|---|
|
Back in 2004, when I was an eight year old third grade student, I founded a small environmental club with a group of friend from my school. This was at the time when we were being taught about how various environmental and climate issues are directly affecting all of us, and the fact that not too many people are doing anything much about it. Today, Green the Gene (www.greenthegene.org), with every member of the Global Board under the age of 24, we are successfully building a global grassroots movement for positive environmental action through over 4500 children and youth volunteers from schools and universities across 42 countries, making us one of the largest completely youth run environmental organisations in all of Asia and Africa. 10 years ago, when Green the Gene started out as an environmental club in Faridabad, India, we took up small scale projects involving our school and community. Today, Green the Gene's team is on youth panels for environmental policy making on inter-governmental levels and drafting committees for children and youth declarations, however, even today, on-ground initiatives and youth mobilization actions remain right at the heart of our work, all over the world. Now as Green the Gene and our movement of environmental action grows, we are looking for new people to join our Global Board. So here is an excellent opportunity for talented and enthusiastic young people (under the age of 24) like you to lead environmental initiatives as Directors at Green the Gene's. This is a chance to gain international exposure and experience while making a difference. Applications close on 25th April, 2015. Apply at bit.ly/gtg_board. Also if there is someone you know who would like to make a difference and is interested in joining our international team - do share this form with them. |
