The country’s most respected training program for environmental organizing

Is Green Corps right for you?

Green Corps trains organizers, provides field support for today’s critical environmental campaigns, and graduates activists who have demonstrated the skills, temperament and commitment to fight and win tomorrow’s environmental battles.

“Green Corps gave me the foundation to plan winning campaigns and lead with impact. The training in organizing — how to build power from the ground up, mobilize people and think strategically — has shaped my entire career.”

Glenn Hurowitz, CEO and Founder of Mighty Earth, Class of 2002

“If there’s anything I’ve learned over the past 25 years, it is that we need more people who are trained in the art and science of organizing public support to effect change. There are many opportunities to learn but the best, in my opinion, is Green Corps.”

Bernadette Del Chiaro, California Senior Vice President at Environmental Working Group, Class of 1998

The Campaigner Program is a four-month crash course that combines classroom training with work on an environmental campaign and serves as an introduction to environmental advocacy.
