The Great Green March is looking for experienced professionals within the sustainability, nonprofit, and business fields to help steer our organization as a member of our Board of Directors.  

The ideal candidate possesses one or more of the following: 1.

Here’s a bit of background on The Great Green March: The Great Green March is a nonprofit with the mission of creating a cultural paradigm shift in how we value our resources as a nation. Our objective is to bring 600 people together to walk, cycle, and drive alternative-fuel vehicles across the country for 365 days from Portland, Oregon to Washington, D.C. These individuals will form a “Green City” that moves 15-20 miles each day, stopping at cities, towns, and villages along the way to highlight the good that is being done sustainability-wise and to bring together members of government, business, and local communities to work on the areas with a lot of room for improvement.

Green City will emulate an actual city, complete with its own mayor and city council, a k-12 school, a post office, outreach programs, educational resources, entertainment, summer camps, a Cineplex, and a marketplace.

Our goal is to reach 100 million people globally and to create measurable change. We will be addressing the following topics: climate change, peak oil, green economics, sustainable resource management, social welfare, green technology, and integrated design.
