Green Corps 2009-2010 Field School for Environmental Organizing

www.greencorps.org/apply

Green Corps is looking for college graduates who are ready to take on the
biggest environmental challenges of our day.

In Green Corps' year-long paid program, you'll get intensive training in the
skills you'll need to make a difference in the world. You'll get hands-on
experience fighting to solve urgent environmental problems - global warming,
deforestation, water pollution and many others - with groups such as Sierra
Club and Greenpeace. And, when you graduate from Green Corps, we'll help you
find a career with one of the nation's leading environmental and social
change groups.

In your year with Green Corps:

You'll get great training with some of the most experienced organizers in
the field: Green Corps organizers take part in trainings with leading
figures in the environmental and social change movements: people such as
Adam Ruben, political director of MoveOn.org, and Bill McKibben, author and
organizer of the "Step It Up" rallies for climate action.

You'll get amazing experience working on environmental issues across the
country: Green Corps sends organizers to jumpstart campaigns for groups such
as Rainforest Action Network and Environment America in San Francisco,
Chicago, Boston and dozens of other places in between.

You'll have a real impact on some of the biggest environmental problems
we're facing today: Green Corps organizers have built the campaigns that
helped keep the Arctic safe from drilling, that led to new laws that support
clean, renewable energy, that convinced major corporations to stop dumping
in our oceans and much, much more.

You'll even get paid: Green Corps Organizers earn a salary of $23,750.
Organizers also have a chance to opt into our health care program with a
pre-tax monthly salary deferral. We offer paid sick days and holidays, two
weeks paid vacation and a student loan repayment program for those who
qualify.

And when you graduate from the program, you'll be ready for what comes next:
Green Corps will help connect you to environmental and progressive groups
that are looking for full-time staff to build their organizations and help
them create social change and protect our environment.

In the next few months, we'll invite 35 college graduates to join Green
Corps in 2009-2010. We're looking for people who are serious about saving
the planet, people who have taken initiative on their campus or community,
and people who are willing to roll up their sleeves and work for change over
the long haul.

If you think you're one of those people, visit www.greencorps.org/apply to
submit your application to join the 2009-2010 class of Green Corps' Field
School for Environmental Organizing.

West Coast: May 1, 2009
