About The Programme
The 4.29 Green Earth Action Ambassador Programme is GEAF’s flagship initiative, launched in 2025 to cultivate environmental stewardship worldwide. Grounded in the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda, we select motivated applicants from diverse backgrounds who align with our mission and values and bring community outreach experience and strong organizational skills. Selected Ambassadors design and deliver a community project within one of GEAF’s priority themes, supported by GEAF through structured learning, mentorship, and project guidance.
Selected GEAF Ambassadors will participate in a 5-month programme (with potential extension based on performance). The programme offers a structured learning and talent-development journey through our Training & Development sessions, covering outreach planning, advocacy, negotiation, and leadership. Ambassadors also receive one-on-one coaching and are paired with mentors to support their growth and impact. The programme culminates on 4.29 Green Earth Action Day, with all Ambassadors delivering their initiatives and presenting outcomes across their local communities
If you are ready to lead, learn, and deliver measurable change, we invite you to apply and help advance the 2030 Agenda, one community at a time.
