For more than 15 years Village Earth has trained and consulted with organizations from around the world. Hundreds of project directors, community leaders, grassroots activists, funders, students, volunteers, and field workers from community-based organizations to large intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations have participated in our wide array of training opportunities.
