Our Story
The Green Teen Team (GTT) was founded in 2014 by H.S.H. Princess Theodora von Liechtenstein who is an active participant in the running of the charity’s projects.
At GTT we believe that everyone can make changes in their lives to help preserve the planet’s biodiversity. Our objective is to empower young people to take action and help them make changes to their lives, the lives of others and the life of our planet.
What we do
