Alumni Profiles

“Choosing to do the Green Corps program was a decision that truly changed my life’s path.  Green Corps helped me to understand what it means to be an organizer, challenged me to commit my life to this work, and taught me the skills to be successful at it.  As the director of Rock the Vote, I consistently rely on the skills I first learned at Green Corps as well as the alumni who serve as colleagues and mentors to me.”

- Heather Smith, Executive Director, Rock the Vote, Green Corps Class of 1999
