Review for Earth Child Institute Inc, New York, NY, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

ECI is an organization that understands of the value of supporting and educating children and youth on diverse and practical ways they can engage and take action on pressing environmental issues facing their communities and the world. Not only does ECI focus on youth, but also engages educators, community groups, parents, governments, the UN, etc – leaders who play a crucial role influencing youth and addressing environmental and sustainable development issues. Although a relatively small NGO, ECI has been able to connect with diverse communities and entities and has been involved in out various exciting initiatives. ECI has the potential to do so much more with additional funding and support!

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

its ability to build strong partnerships with organizations, communities, and youth in Africa, Latin America, and Asia to develop programs and projects, its involvement in youth/environmental conferences and meetings (such as the United Nations Forum on Forests where it organized a side event on youth led agro-forestry and participatory environmental education), and its publishing of valuable environmental and education related reports, guides, and lessons.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Help donate and increase funding to support all the organizations innovative initiatives as well as to grow staff.

Role:  Volunteer & Design and develop environmental education tools and resources for kids and educators, grant writing, research and writing reports and publications.
