Every summer, Green Corps organizers finish their year directing citizen outreach offices across the country. This summer, they are recruiting and training teams to mobilize thousands of citizens and raise hundreds of thousands of dollars to protect right whales, save America's oldest forests, expand marine protected areas in California, and tackle plastic pollution!

The Field School for Environmental Organizing
About us
Today, the state of our environment is a household issue: global warming is in the news every day, students across the country are rallying to green their campuses, celebrities are speaking out for a host of causes, and schoolchildren are asking why the adults have let these things happen. This increased visibility and cultural awareness creates an enormous opportunity for environmentalists; it’s our best chance t to engage the public to push for solutions. Green Corps’ Field School for Environmental Organizing trains college graduates to run environmental campaigns, starting by building a core group of activists and finishing by convincing decision-makers to pass laws, change policies and create reforms to protect our environment. But Green Corps is more than a school – it’s a real-world endeavor. Trainees start working on campaigns from the start of their training. They make a difference, starting on Day 1. Green Corps' one-year, full-time, paid Field School for Environmental Organizing includes intensive classroom training, hands-on field experience running urgent environmental and public health campaigns, and career placement in positions with leading environmental groups. If you want to gain the skills to run a campaign to stop global warming, defend old growth forests from corporate logging companies, or start your own environmental group, apply to Green Corps.

More than two decades ago, Green Corps organizers and coalition partners rallied public support for the closure of coal-fired power plants across the region. As this era comes to a necessary end, Johanna Neumann, GC'02, says “Thanks to today’s announcement, everyone in New England will finally be able to breathe a little easier. Merrimack Station’s soot and smog have polluted our region’s air since the 1960s. Today’s announcement marks an end to the chapter of burning coal to produce electricity in New England."
