Environmental Leadership Training Program

Whether it's with Greenpeace, the Sierra Club, MoveOn.org, or Defenders of Wildlife - behind the nation's top environmental organization's field campaigns, you'll find a Green Corps organizer or graduate.

There has never been a more critical time for our environment. While the current political leadership blatantly promotes an anti-environmental agenda, it's crucial that we mobilize the public's concern, discontent, and outrage into effective action. Indeed, the environmental movement is putting its resources into getting everyday citizens involved at a grassroots level.

The earth, which is taking a beating at human hands, is awash with people who express concern about it, but there is a drought of people able to organize to stop the abuse. Green Corps prepares university graduates for the essential commitment to end the drought.
