How to Hire a Green Corps Field Team

Green Corps Class of 2007 organizers helped community groups fighting toxic pollution.

Your organization wants to kick off a campaign, run a public education program, generate additional media attention or turn up the grassroots pressure on your target—but you don't have the resources or reason to permanently add staff to your organization and you know hiring trained grassroots organizers and advocates for short-term work is challenging.

That's where Green Corps comes in. We can provide a team of four to twelve trained field organizers to work on your campaign for a two or three month interval. Our staff will hold press events, build coalitions, organize phone banks, collect signed postcards, recruit and train volunteers, hold accountability sessions— whatever it takes to make your campaign a success.

Green Corps will work with you and your staff to develop a campaign plan that takes full advantage of this new infusion of people-power and leaves your campaign and organization better positioned after our work is done. A Green Corps organizing director provides full supervision of the team and serves as your direct liaison to the field staff.

You can hire a Green Corps field team to help win your campaign. Requests for the field team are considered on a rolling basis. A minimum of one-month notice is required, although advance bookings are encouraged. Green Corps teams are available to work on a campaign for a two or three month stretch between September and April. Our time slots are: September through October, September through November, January through February and March through April.

Organizers must be hired as a team and team size ranges from seven to eight organizers. Usually a team must be contracted for a minimum term of two months. The fee includes the field team, as well as full supervision by a Green Corps organizing director who works closely with you throughout the campaign. Long-distance calling and travel, opening a special office and relocation are additional expenses that are not included in the fee.

A Green Corps team can be assigned to key states across the country for a national program or concentrated in one area for a regional campaign. Green Corps staff are ready to go where the fight is. We have the flexibility to move staff to cover important locations or to relocate a team to a single state or region for one campaign.
