The Earth Prize Volunteer Program is the volunteer arm of The Earth Foundation, the Switzerland-based non-profit behind The Earth Prize — a global environmental sustainability competition for students. Volunteers help broaden awareness of the competition and support the Earth Prize ecosystem within their own local communities, for example by interacting with schools and teachers, speaking to local media, and taking part in events. The role is fully remote and open to people anywhere in the world, who collaborate as part of an international community with volunteers across North America, South America, Europe, Africa, and Asia.
