What We Do
Building an Environmental Movement That Wins
Launched in 2013, GLT is the first cross-organizational effort focused on building power and diversity in any advocacy sector.
Clear Leadership & Value
An Equity Agenda Embedded in Every Action.
Our Board Leadership Committee crafts our Equity Agenda so that our actions as board members are coordinated and integrate values of equity and justice. We have drafted support statements during times of racial discourse, and provided insight on equitable action after Hurricane Maria and during the Flint Water Crisis.
High Board Engagement
A Vibrant Community of Board Members of Color.
Our Capacity Building Committee develops events, speakers, webinars, and trainings so members are skilled, confident, and ready to lead. We are building an onboarding curriculum for new board members, with best practices shared via monthly webinars in our Vanguard Fellowship cohorts.
Membership Growth
A Growing Roster of Environmental Leaders.
GLT has a growing roster of members, and we successfully place our leaders as board members at environmental organizations. As more people of color and Indigenous people join environmental boards, the pool of potential Trust members grows.
