Elizabeth Martin-Craig participates in Green Corps Introductory Classroom Training in Boston, MA. |
Green Corps presents eight weeks of intensive classroom training conducted by representatives of a wide range of organizations and campaigns. Past trainers have included David Orr, Dolores Huerta, Lois Gibbs and other well-known leaders as well as behind-the-scenes players who have contributed to the growth and victories of major environmental organizations over the past three decades.
The
Green Corps program begins with our four-week Introductory Classroom
Training each August in Boston, Mass. Through instruction and practice, our staff and
trainers present an overview of the environmental movement; explore
different organizing strategies, such as volunteer recruitment, media
outreach, and coalition building; and teach a variety of tactical
skills, such as petitioning and writing a press release. Four
subsequent week-long classroom training sessions held throughout the
year teach the organizers additional skills and hone their abilities to
plan and implement effective campaigns.
