Green Corps is the country’s most respected training program for environmental organizers, with nearly 400 of our graduates at work today on the most urgent environmental issues of our time. If you’re passionate about the environment and ready to learn and practice the craft of organizing, our year-long program is the best place to start.
Global Studies graduate and alumna Audrey Beedle is currently a fellow with Green Corps and is excited to help you with any questions you have about the program or the application process. Contact Audrey via email audrey@greencorps.org
Green Corps program includes intensive classroom training with prominent guest trainers like Bill McKibben, founder of 350.org. You'll get hands-on experience working on campaigns with groups working on issues ranging from conservation to climate change. You’ll learn how to recruit and train volunteers, develop strategic campaigns, build strong coalitions, organize events, gain media coverage and more.
Green Corps has plenty of solutions for the environmental problems they see and hear about every day: energy conservation and renewable power; public lands dedicated to protecting wilderness and wildlife, not extracting fossil fuels; smarter, greener ways of living that leave a lighter footprint on the planet. What we need more of—what any social movement always needs more of—is people who know how to organize: to build and run effective organizations and campaigns that inspire the popular support and political action we need to save our planet.
