Kinderenergy.org is the only environmental 501c3 non profit that believes children are very important for Earth.

We are looking for someone with Development Expertise to take us to the next level.

Kinderenergy builds awareness that children are Earth's most important natural resource so helps children find purpose and potential by inspiring them to find solutions to Earth's problems. We teach them how to protect people, plants and animals. They learn to see problems, design solutions and implement strategy. They remove barriers to education other children their ages face in developing world such as lack of water, toilets, transport to school, food. Students solving problems through #MoveBrainSaveEarth learn design engineering, sustainable agriculture, global health, foreign currency, project management before they get to college!

Kinderenergy holds Special Consultative Status on UN ECOSOC, has Observation Status on UNFCCC in UN site in Germany and participates, with children and youth, on UN Major Group of Children & Youth. Kinderenergy Youth were recently highlighted in The Economist: http://foodsustainability.eiu.com/international-youth-day-young-people-delivering-food-sustainability/

We need someone with a big heart and expertise to help us launch into the future.
