The Green Program

Founded in 2009, The GREEN Program (TGP) is an award-winning, experiential education program focused on our world’s most pressing issues in sustainable development. Our mission is to educate and empower future sustainability leaders through experiential education, responsible travel, and adventure. We provide short-term, accredited programs in our world's epicenters of sustainability. By using the world as our classroom, our model expertly balances university-accredited course work, exclusive industry access, and bucket-list adventures. Beyond our program experience, we are one of the only program providers to offer leadership and career development opportunities after students return home. In fact, 95% of TGP alumni stay engaged in sustainability efforts and have gone on to work for forward-thinking companies such as NASA, the United Nations, NREL, EPA, National Geographic, Google, GE, and more. Since 2009, we have traveled with more than 3,200 interdisciplinary student leaders and young professionals from 400+ universities and 70 countries around the world. Our programs provide hands-on, global experiences at the fraction of the time and cost of traditional study abroad. Our cohorts are challenged to solve real-world sustainability challenges in the form of innovative business solutions. So far, our team has facilitated the development of more than 800 of these Capstone Projects. Explore our programs in Iceland, Peru, Nepal and Japan at thegreenprogram.com/programs
