Job description

Green 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.

Protecting the environment is the most important challenge facing our world. 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 2027-2028 program. Graduates will join our nearly 450 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.

Green Corps' year-long program begins in August 2027 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 and August 2027.) Candidates must be willing to relocate. Please contact Renee Wellman at [e-mail] with additional questions.
