Green Corps Organizer Program

Green CorpsGreen Corps Organizer Program - The Field School for Environmental Organizing
Green Corps is looking for college graduates who are ready to take on the biggest environmental challenges of our day.
Learn more and apply on our website!

The planet needs all the help it can get. To win now and build a strong foundation for lasting progress, we need people who know how to organize: to run organizations and campaigns that will inspire the support and action we need to save our environment. Our program starts with intensive classroom training. You learn about issues and campaigns, organizing theory and principles, and skills from recruiting volunteers to staging a media event. Then, you move to a more hands-on experience. You make a difference on important campaigns to transition our country to clean energy, protect wildlife, and more. For example, Natalie Woodland, an organizer from the Green Corps Class of 2023, brought together a coalition of more than 100 beekeepers and farmers that helped create a new policy to reduce pesticide use in Colorado.


We’re accepting the top 20 candidates for our 2026-2027 program. Graduates will join our more than 400 alumni who are leading environmental campaigns and organizations across the country. If you’re passionate about the environment and ready to learn and practice the craft of organizing after graduation, apply today!

Not a graduating senior? Add your name to our list to receive updates about Green Corps including summer internships and jobs in the environmental and broader social change field!

Green Corps’ paid, year-long program begins in August 2026 with introductory classroom training, and continues with field placements in multiple locations across the U.S. Green Corps also offers a short-term program beginning in January 2026. Candidates must be willing to relocate. Please contact Renee Wellman at renee@greencorps.org with additional questions.

Applications Open: AGS Summer Fellowships

GS offers two fellowships for undergraduate students to support summer opportunities: a Summer Internship Fellowship and a Summer Research Fellowship.
The AGS Summer Internship Fellowship provides funds to defray the costs of a summer internship related to American grand strategy. This includes internships at think tanks, in government, at international institutions, and in the private sector.

The AGS Summer Research Fellowship enables students to develop and pursue independent research projects in the field of grand strategy, historical or contemporary. The research project would be entirely of your own design, giving you the freedom to think outside the box and develop a summer opportunity tailored to your interests and goals.

Applications are now open for both fellowships. Applications are due on March 31 no later than 5:00pm, and late applications will not be accepted or considered. Continue reading…
