Greg Powell, Director

Greg has always had the goal to work to make the world a better place. Starting his professional experience as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Honduras, Greg found a passion for international community development that has continued throughout his career. Greg lived and worked for years in Belize and Peru as the Country Director and Regional Director – Latin America, respectively, for ProWorld Service Corps. After supervising an AmeriCorps program in the United States, and receiving a Master’s Degree in Diplomacy from Norwich University Greg continued to follow his calling by joining Partners In Health as the Grants Manager. While with Partners In Health, Greg helped manage grant-funded programs in Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Peru, Russia, Malawi, Rwanda, and Lesotho.

Rekindling a life-long love for the natural environment, and recognizing the opportunity to make a true impact on the global climate change challenge, Greg happily joined the RTT team in August of 2013. Greg is building from his reforestation experiences in Honduras and Peru to help grow and expand the RTT model. When not contemplating the development of tropical forests, Greg can be found in his kayak with a fishing rod, hiking, or playing the guitar.
