Green Corps Organizer

Position Description 

Are you determined to make the biggest positive impact you can on issues like climate change and clean water, but you don’t know where to start? Green Corps offers a yearlong, paid training program that will prepare you for a career in environmental organizing and the broader social change movement. Here’s how it works:
Job Description and Key Responsibilities

Learn skills from environmental leaders 
To make an impact, you need training. We provide top-notch, unparalleled training in the skills of organizing and advocacy to help you launch a lifetime career of impact. 

Our staff and trainers provide context on the biggest issues facing our environment and train on specific proven organizing strategies and tactics. Topics include volunteer recruitment, campaign planning, public speaking and much more. You’ll learn how to run campaigns that inspire the public and build organizations and political support needed to save our planet.

Hands-on experience on real campaigns 
Starting each August, Green Corps packs extensive experience into one year, with organizers working in three, four or even five different cities throughout the Green Corps year on a variety of issues with multiple partner groups. Short term opportunities starting in August 2024 or before are available, as well.

You work on the most pressing environmental issues of the day – from saving our last wild places, to protecting our oceans, to reducing climate change pollution. 

For example, a team of organizers worked on a campaign with the Solar Rights Alliance to protect rooftop solar in California, helping to turn out over 2,000 people to campaign events and build a coalition of over 600 organizations and businesses in support of the campaign.

Launch your organizing career 
After our training program, we connect graduates with organizing jobs in the environmental and social change movements. Many of these groups need trained organizers to run their campaigns, and most Green Corps graduates are able to find professional positions immediately.
