Photos from the Field: Summer 2026
The Green Corps Class of 2026 is wrapping up the final campaign of their training year! Our organizers spent the fall and spring campaigns honing their skills in working with volunteers and a wide range of tactics, from working with the media, to building coalitions, to coordinating creative visibility events.
This summer, they are working to build stronger organizations by recruiting new members and fundraising millions of dollars for strategic environmental campaigns and organizations, all while recruiting, hiring and training paid staff. More specifically, they are running field campaigns to expand funding for state park systems, reduce forever chemicals in drinking water, expand networks of wildlife crossings, remove toxic chemicals from food packaging, and more!
They are busier than ever, but are making a huge impact before they launch into the next phase of their careers this fall!
