Green Corps’ PAID Environmental Organizing Fellowship
Learn more about Green Corps’ paid environmental organizing fellowship.
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, Lauren Karpinski, an organizer from the Green Corps Class of 2019, brought together a coalition of 40 groups that helped win a landmark solar energy bill in Arkansas. The planet needs all the help it can get. 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 planet.
We’re accepting the top 20 out of more than 1000 applicants for our 2023-2024 program. If you’re passionate about the environment and ready to learn and practice the craft of organizing, Apply and learn more. Green Corps’ year-long program begins in August 2023 with introductory classroom training, and continues with field placements in multiple locations across the U.S. Candidates must be willing to relocate. Please contact Erin Bachmeier at erin@greencorps.org with additional questions.
