Greentree Global exists primarily to prepare leaders in developing countries, emphasizing the values of respect, justice, and freedom embodied in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights originally adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1948.

Greentree Global exists to promote these values and the cultural understanding and individual potential that flow from them through youth conferences and camps, English language instruction, cultural exchange, and economic enterprise.  Often the areas of the world where these values and fundamental freedoms are least apparent are those regions where people face the greatest challenges because of poverty, war, disease, slavery, and injustice.  Consequently, Greentree Global will promote community development and economic enterprise that is sustainable and environmentally sensitive, as well as provide health and humanitarian assistance in those areas most impacted by poverty and conflict.
