Green Corps Organizer

The Green Corps Organizer program provides a unique combination of classroom instruction and field experience to give you the foundation you need to launch a career to save the planet. Over the course of the year, Organizers will:

• Receive eight weeks of classroom training to learn the theory and skills of environmental organizing, including skills like how to recruit and train volunteers, develop strategic campaigns, organize events, gain media coverage and more.
• Run three to five campaigns throughout the year to put these skills to work on pressing environmental issues. For each campaign, which are often with different partner groups and in different locations, you will work on a campus or in a community to identify and train activists and volunteers, build and demonstrate support from the community for your campaign goals, get media coverage, and ultimately work to win policy changes to protect the environment.
• Run a grassroots canvass office for the final campaign of the year, including hiring and managing canvass staff. You and your canvass staff will educate the public, build support, sign-up members, and fundraise for top environmental and public interest organizations.
• Gain the skills and experiences needed to launch your organizing career. After completing the year, we connect graduates with organizing jobs in the environmental and social change movements. Many groups need trained organizers to run their campaigns, and most Green Corps graduates are able to find professional positions immediately.
