U.S. Partners and Country Coordinators

GLOBE works with U.S. Partners and international Country Coordinators to implement the program within their regions and local communities. These vital community members recruit schools for GLOBE and help train educators to promote science education and discovery, enhance science literacy and empower environmental stewardship.

If you are interested in becoming a U.S. GLOBE Partner

• Read Responsibilities and Expectations of GLOBE Partners.

• Use the Sample Partner Letter and complete with the appropriate information for your organization. 

• Email this completed letter to globehelp@ucar.edu. GLOBE staff will consider your application letter and finalize the partnership letter, if appropriate.  

• An official response (a partnership letter) will then be sent to your organization, approving your partnership request.

• A link to a U.S. Partnership Form will be included in the letter, which needs to be completed with organizational information so that your partnership page can be generated.

• The GLOBE Community Support Team will connect with you about your partnership page and training concerning your access to the website.

Active GLOBE partners must complete one GLOBE training each year. This can be at the undergraduate, pre-service or in-service level.  The training can be of any length, depending on the number of GLOBE protocols that you want to cover.

How U.S. Partners Use GLOBE

Outside of the United States, GLOBE is implemented through bilateral agreements between the U.S. government and the governments of other nations.

After a nation becomes a GLOBE country, the program and its protocols can be implemented in that country's schools and communities under the guidance of a Country Coordinator. Regional Coordination Offices (RCOs), located in the six GLOBE regions, support the Country Coordinators in their implementation of the program.

The government organization responsible for GLOBE in a country selects and appoints the Country Coordinator. Some countries have designated more than one person to manage GLOBE, either to support different geographic regions or different education levels.

If you live in a GLOBE Country and are interested in becoming a Country Coordinator:

1. Read the Country Coordinator Implementation Guide to better understand your possible roles and responsibilities.
