So far this year, Greenpeace Semester students have worked on a number of critical environmental issues,
traveled to see the impacts of mountain-top removal coal mining on
communities in Appalachia, and learned how to create their own campaign
plans for activism on their campuses. They have made lasting
relationships with other students and staff at Greenpeace, taken on leadership roles within the Greenpeace Student Network, and started environmental student groups on campus. We are so excited to see what the 2011 Semester participants accomplish!
Our goal in 2012 is to continue to provide comprehensive training to students who will learn skills to help win important victories for the planet, develop their leadership potential, and get hands-on experience working on environmental campaigns.
The Greenpeace Semester is an amazing opportunity for you to receive training, hands-on experience, and mentorship in environmental leadership – and the deadline to apply for the Spring Semester is approaching on October 19th!
The Greenpeace Semester spring term is a semester-long training opportunity in Washington, DC for college students who want to become leaders for the environmental movement. Take it from Alexis Boxer, summer 2009 alum and Sierra Student Coalition organizer:
Whether you are newly interested in the environmental movement and activism or are already involved on your campus, the Greenpeace Semester is a great way to learn how you can have a greater impact and advocate for the issues you are passionate about.
The Greenpeace Semester is now accepting applications for 2012 programs, and the deadline for the Spring Semester is October 19th. Apply today to be the change! Check out our application here: http://bit.ly/qm0hir

The Greenpeace Semester spring term is a semester-long training opportunity in Washington, DC for college students who want to become leaders for the environmental movement. Take it from Alexis Boxer, summer 2009 alum and Sierra Student Coalition organizer:
“The Greenpeace Semester changed my life and got me where I am today … the Semester prepared me for work with non-profits and really helped me to realize that my passion for the environment and people can put to good use for the greater good and for the long term. I have made some of the best friends of my life and came away with a family and support system unlike any other.“During Greenpeace Semester, you will learn about pressing environmental issues, solutions, and how you can have a greater impact. Students learn about working with the media to recruiting volunteers, starting a group on campus, and organizing successful events that help to build people power and win victories for the planet. The Greenpeace Semester prepares students to take on leadership roles on their campus and truly be the change they wish to see in the world.
Whether you are newly interested in the environmental movement and activism or are already involved on your campus, the Greenpeace Semester is a great way to learn how you can have a greater impact and advocate for the issues you are passionate about.
