Description
Green Corps is a non-profit field school for environmental organizing, founded by leading environmentalists in 1992 to identify and train the next generation of environmental leaders. Our program includes intensive classroom training, hands-on experience running urgent environmental and public health campaigns, and placement assistance in permanent positions with leading environmental groups.
Terms:
The Introductory Classroom Training, held in Boston, MA, teaches you to mobilize grassroots support, train community leaders, and work with the media. You will learn about issues you care about - from endangered species, to corporate responsibility to toxic threats to communities. You will learn from environmental leaders who have real-life experience fighting to protect our environment like Dolores Huerta, Co-Founder of United Farm Workers, and Bob Bingaman, National Field Director of Sierra Club. Four subsequent week-long classroom training sessions held throughout the year teach you additional skills and hone your ability to plan and implement effective campaigns.
Duties:
As a Green Corps Field Organizer, you'll plan and implement a series of campaigns conducted on behalf of groups like Rainforest Action Network and Pesticide Watch.
Your job will include recruiting, training and supervising volunteers, interns and staff; working with the media; fundraising; and mobilizing grassroots support.
