When Green Teacher magazine began publishing in North America in 1991, we took steps to ensure participation from environmental and global educators across the continent. One of the first things we did was to establish a group of volunteer regional editors who help to promote the magazine and keep us informed of interesting happenings in environmental education in their area.
Briefly, regional editors have three main tasks: 1) to ensure that educators who are doing exciting work in environmental or global education in their area are being encouraged to write for the magazine; 2) to let local teachers know that Green Teacher exists; and 3) to write an occasional article or news story.
We would like regional editors to stay with us for about 2-3 years, but we understand that all kinds of things can happen to make such a commitment difficult to fulfill. Our main interest is in having a group of active representatives. So if you become a regional editor and then later find you don't have the time for it, we will welcome your resignation without any hard feelings.

If you are interested and have the time to undertake this
volunteer position, please let us know by contacting our offices or sending an e-mail to 
. Let us know why you think you would be a good
regional editor and tell us about professional or other
organizations in which you are an active member. For instance,
you may have good contacts through active membership in your
state environmental education association, or perhaps you give
workshops for teachers in your area.
It's possible that when you contact us we will have already appointed a regional editor in your area. If so, we'll keep your name on file for the event that there is an editor's position to fill in your region at a later date.
Many Green Teacher readers encourage colleagues to write for the magazine, and put out display copies and flyers at conferences. Please contact us to obtain these materials.
