Paid Training Program in Environmental Organizing and Advocacy

Green Corps, the Field School for Environmental Organizing is looking to get the word out to graduating seniors at University of Nebraska Lincoln about our paid training program in environmental organizing and advocacy. We focus on equipping recent college grads with the skills and experience they need to tackle our most pressing environmental problems.

Our yearlong program has prepared recent college graduates for 30 years to launch a career in environmental organizing and advocacy by providing hands-on experience running campaigns with groups like the Wilderness Society, Endangered Species Coalition, Mighty Earth and more. We then connect our graduates to jobs in the environmental and social change movement. I want to make sure that students at UNL hear about this opportunity, so I’m working to spread the word far and wide!
I’m also happy to chat with students directly -- my email is felix@greencorps.org
