    Green Corps Organizer

    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 gives you the training and experience you need to kickstart your organizing career while making an immediate impact on critical environmental issues, from saving our last wild places, to protecting our oceans, to reducing climate change pollution.

    Program Description and Key Responsibilities

    The Green Corps Organizer program provides a unique combination of classroom instruction and field experience to give you the foundation you need to launch a career to save the planet. Over the course of the year, Organizers will

    • Receive eight weeks of classroom training to learn the theory and skills of environmental organizing, including skills like how to recruit and train volunteers, develop strategic campaigns, organize events, gain media coverage and more.
    • Run three to five campaigns throughout the year to put these skills to work on pressing environmental issues. For each campaign, which are often with different partner groups and in different locations, 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.
    • Run a grassroots canvass office for the final campaign of the year, including hiring and managing canvass staff. You and your canvass staff will educate the public, build support, sign-up members, and fundraise for top environmental and public interest organizations.
    • Gain the skills and experiences needed to launch your organizing career. After completing the year, we connect graduates with organizing jobs in the environmental and social change movements. Many groups need trained organizers to run their campaigns, and most Green Corps graduates are able to find professional positions immediately.

    Qualifications

    We’re looking for top candidates to join our unique training program. No previous organizing experience is required, but here’s what we look for:

    • 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
    • Excited to dedicate a year to learning how to be an organizer, including working on multiple campaigns with different campaign partners and in different locations

    For positions starting in August 2025, the target annual compensation is $38,000 (but compensation may range between $38,000 and $41,690 depending on location). Green Corps offers an excellent benefits package. Our benefits package includes medical, dental, and vision insurance for employees and dependents, paid sick time (60-80 hours/year depending on location), accrued vacation time (accruing 10 days over year 1), a commuter benefit program, and may include needs-based student loan assistance.
