Mark Green Joins Board of Directors of World Teach

Malaria Policy Center Managing Director Mark Green has become a member of the Board of Directors for World Teach, a non-profit, non-governmental organization that provides opportunities for individuals to make a meaningful contribution to international education by living and working as volunteer teachers in developing countries. 

"It is an honor to again be part of the organization that first brought me to Africa," said Green. "Ending deaths from malaria and providing a quality education to children in developing nations go hand in hand as we help to provide hope to families across a continent." 

Green, a former Congressman and recent U.S. Ambassador to Tanzania, manages the Malaria Policy Center, a project of Malaria No More, which works to raise awareness and galvanize support to address the global fight against malaria. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., the Center works with the global health community to engage policy leaders in the United States and in the other donor nations to advance efforts to defeat malaria worldwide. 

Based at the Center for International Development at Harvard University, WorldTeach offers the benefits of a well-established volunteer organization, while also providing more comprehensive, personalized support and training as a small NGO.  In each of our programs, volunteers are placed in schools and host communities in developing countries that specifically request WorldTeach volunteers and would otherwise be unable to afford or locate qualified teachers.
