We're looking for the next generation of environmental leaders.

Can you imagine yourself running a campaign to defend old growth
forests from corporate logging companies, protecting local
communities from pesticides, or starting your own environmental
group? Green Corps' one-year, full-time, paid Environmental
Leadership Training Program gives you the best training available to
launch an organizing and advocacy career.

Organization:
Green Corps is a non-profit Field School for Environmental
Organizing, founded by leading environmentalists in 1992 to identify
and train the next generation of environmental leaders. Our program
includes intensive classroom training, hands-on experience running
urgent environmental and public health campaigns, and placement in
permanent leadership positions with leading environmental groups.

Training:
The Introductory Classroom Training, held in Boston, Mass., exposes
you to the environmental movement and teaches you to mobilize
grassroots support, train community leaders, and work with the media.
You will learn about issues you care about including global warming,
corporate accountability, toxic threats, and sustainable development.
You will learn from environmental leaders who have real-life
experience fighting to protect our environment like Bob Bingaman,
National Field Director of Sierra Club, and Dolores Huerta,
Co-Founder of United Farm Workers. Four subsequent week-long
classroom training sessions held throughout the year teach you
additional skills and hone your ability to plan and implement
effective campaigns.

Locations & Dates:
We place Field Organizers in cities across the nation, which
may include Washington, D.C., and cities in California, Colorado,
Connecticut, Georgia, Florida, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota,
New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Washington and
Wisconsin. The program begins in August 2005, with the Introductory
Classroom Training in Boston, and concludes with graduation in August
2006.

Responsibilities:
As a Green Corps Field Organizer, you'll plan and implement a
series of environmental campaigns conducted on behalf of groups like
Rainforest Action Network, Sierra Club and World Wildlife Fund. Your
responsibilities will include recruiting, training, and supervising
volunteers, interns, and staff; working with the media; fundraising;
and mobilizing grassroots support.

Job Placement:
Our graduates are in high demand and quickly find jobs working
on issues they care about. After you complete the training program,
Green Corps will connect you to organizations with open positions and
other opportunities for full-time social change work. Green Corps'
graduates have held positions of leadership in organizations such as
the Sierra Club, Greenpeace, Global Exchange, Rainforest Action
Network, U.S. PIRG, Natural Resources Defense Council, Environmental
Defense, ACLU, United for a Fair Economy, and Friends of the Earth.

Qualifications:
We will invite 25 people to participate in the 2005-2006
Environmental Leadership Training Program. We are looking for people
who are serious about saving the planet, have experience working with
environmental or social change issues, and have demonstrated
leadership experience.

Salary & Benefits:
Salary of $23,750. Optional group health care coverage, paid
sick days and holidays, two weeks paid vacation, and a student loan
repayment program for qualifying staff.

To apply for Green Corps' 2005-2006 Environmental Leadership
Training Program, fill out our online application by February 4th.
