What is the Global Board?

The global board is a democratically elected body with representatives from all regions around the globe and serves for a period of one-year. The goal of the Global Board is to give Plant-for-the-Planet a focus and make organisation-wide decisions, Global Board members work hand in hand to grow our worldwide community, create new initiatives or projects that can have a global impact and help us plant more trees and empower more children and youth to start their own clubs and local activities. The Global board is also mandated to charter all plant-for-the-planet’s clubs, monitor their progress and provide guidance in the implementation of their activities. And much more!
