GEM Programs
GEM programs emphasize practical, hands-on learning experiences, and the sharing of knowledge and solutions to common local natural resources problems by linking people internationally.
Through these programs and linkages GEM is teaching and inspiring tomorrow's resource managers, local community leaders and an informed citizenry. Click on the links below to find out more about specific GEM program areas.
