Are you passionate about environmental action and ready to take it to the next level? The Green Earth Action Foundation (GEAF) is inviting motivated individuals from across the globe to join its Ambassador Programme for 2026. This initiative empowers leaders to design and implement community-based sustainability projects, gain mentorship, and build a global network of change-makers.
Launched in 2025, the GEAF Ambassador Programme is built around the organisation’s flagship event, 4.29 Green Earth Action Day, and is aligned with the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
Ambassadors participate in a five-month structured programme that includes training sessions on advocacy, leadership and project implementation, and the chance to design a real project in one of GEAF’s thematic areas such as waste management, biodiversity, climate-smart agriculture or marine protection.
Programme Benefits
Leadership training covering outreach, negotiation, project management and advocacy.
One-on-one mentorship and peer networking among fellow ambassadors worldwide.
The chance to design and deliver a community-based environmental project under GEAF’s support and guidance.
Recognition as a GEAF Ambassador, certificate of achievement, and potential involvement in international events.
Eligibility Criteria
Demonstrated interest or experience in environmental sustainability, community outreach or climate action.
Strong organisational and communication skills, ability to work independently or as part of a team.
Commitment to the full programme duration (five months from orientation to project delivery).
Fluency in English or French.
Duration
Approximately five months, starting January 2026 and culminating around April/May 2026 (with possible extension depending on performance).
Deadline
Check the official GEAF page for the application closing date. Early preparation is advised.

Helpful Guidance for Applicants
Craft a strong action plan: Your application requires a clear proposal for a community-based environmental project. Outline: objectives, implementation steps, stakeholder engagement, timeline, budget and how you’ll measure impact.
Show prior involvement: Mention any volunteer work, leadership roles or community outreach you’ve done in sustainability or related fields. This strengthens your case.
Use concrete metrics: Rather than “we’ll improve recycling”, specify “we’ll increase recycling rate by 20% in X community within six months via workshops and donation-bins”. This shows clarity.
Demonstrate commitment: The programme has training, mentoring and project delivery phases. Ensure you can dedicate the required time and maintain momentum.
Focus locally with global mindset: While the programme is global, successful ambassadors will anchor their project in their own community. Highlight your local context and how your initiative links globally.
Prepare documentation: You’ll likely need a CV, cover letter, project proposal, references and proof of your local commitment (utility bill or similar). Double-check the requirements list.
Avoid vague language: Avoid statements like “we’ll change our environment”. Instead, provide a clear target, e.g., number of participants, measurable behaviour change, timeline.
Leverage this for your profile: If selected, you’ll gain mentorship, a global network and recognition. Think of it as a stepping-stone for your environmental leadership journey.
