Everything you should know about MEMBERSHIP:Our members are mothers and fathers, they can also be grand-, step- or fosterparents; single parents are very welcome here too. They're family.
Global Native families establish partnerships through sincere and open communication. There are no restrictions in regard to gender, race, religion, nationality or age. What unites us is the wish to create opportunities and synergies for all of us. |

Before you continue please understand the nature of our community!
What we do is "slow networking". This takes time and consideration, dedication and commitment. In return, it cuts expenses and multiplies choices. |

Your kids take two decades to grow up,
so we need not rush into things. But we want to be absolutely certain on three elemental factors: |
We verify identity and residence of every family.We ensure there are clearly defined interests and intentions.We ask for a pledge of personal commitment. |
Once you're approved you are part of a community united by mutual respect, genuine dedication
and a passionate belief in cooperation across national and cultural borders (more information here).
|
Free and easy access for all? Quite the opposite makes sense.
Free web services tend to have a hard time managing honesty, truthfulness, reliability, discretion and all the other human factors that ensure decent and sustainable dialogue between people. "If the product is free, you're the product being sold." |
|
Quality of language and content matter. Even more so when our kids are concerned. But any chat-room of
your choice can demonstrate how much nonsense is being written online every day. That's “the price of free”.

About our membership fees:At GlobalNatives.Org, both the public and the community sites are free of advertising and of commercial interests. We take great care to ensure privacy, safety and efficiency. |
The concept of fruitful co-operation calls for continuity.
It requires time to build trust and gentle development. This is why loyal members pay decreasing fees. Benefits multiply with the growing number and diversity of members, this is why the fees for new members increase annually: there is better value for it every year. |

There’s a price and a prize ... There’s a reason ... There’s a quarantee ... There's a purpose ... There is commitment ... |
Standard: Membership has a price - you pay an annual fee. The alternatives: Membership is a prize - it can be awarded. ......................... Check out the schoolpal project to find out how ! .................................................Or: try this ... The membership fee and the thorough (if a bit lengthy) verification process are an essential "commitment-filter" for authenticity, reliability and genuine engagement.
No one should ever be part of our community who does not truly want to be.
At any given time we return the aliquot part of any fee paid to “I-do-not-wish-to-continue” members. All we ask is that you take half an hour of your precious time to write down why you want to terminate your membership and give at least one serious suggestion of potential improvement. Whatever your reason may be: of course we want to know about it but we shall never argue the point. Whatever sum remains unused at this point of time will be transferred back to you within 72 hours. There is no handling fee and there are no catches. What's more: If you feel that after a year of active membership your child or your children have not benefited in any way, have not experienced any motivational boost and no academic improvement, we will refund the entire membership fee. Copies of this year's and last year's school reports are sufficient to claim your fee back. Membership fees empower us, they drive the programs we've designed to inspire courage and wanderlust and they finance the support we offer to make global citizenship and education across borders available. You find ample information under the "Action" tab; the "Fare Play" grants, the highly popular (and efficient !) "Shared Mindspace" project and the SchoolPal agenda.
We do not offer free trials.
The great wealth of information we offer you on this website covers every aspect of The GlobalNatives.Club's work and potential. We feel it is sufficient to help you decide if this is for you and enough to judge if what you expect and what is expected of you will tally up, both for you and for your family. Once you have taken a deliberate decision to join there is call for considerable commitment on both sides, the kind of commitment we don't associate with freebies and free trials. . |
