Green Corps Campaigner

Program Description and Key Responsibilities

• Receive one to two weeks of classroom training to learn the basic skills of environmental organizing, including skills like how to recruit and train volunteers, organize events, gain media coverage and more.
• Run one campaign to put these skills to work on a pressing environmental issue. You will work on a campus or in a community to identify and train activists and volunteers, build and demonstrate support from the community for your campaign goals, get media coverage, and ultimately work to win policy changes to protect the environment. You should plan to relocate, as we require all Campaigners to be geographically flexible in order to work on the campaign where they’re needed most.
• Gain the skills and experiences to make an impact. As the four-month position ends, we will consider top candidates for opportunities for advancement and additional training both within the Green Corps Organizer program or for recommendation to the broader environmental and social change movement.
• This position requires exercising discretion and independent judgment in making decisions in matters of significance. 

Qualifications

• A passion for protecting the environment and an interest in dedicating your career to environmental work
• Strong communication skills, including writing, public speaking, and working with others one-on-one and in a group
• Leadership experience on campus or in your community
• Strong work ethic and dedication to goals, and also the flexibility to adjust plans when a rapidly-moving campaign changes
• An interest in a short-term position to learn the basics of environmental organizing while making a difference on a critical campaign
