Spend a semester away from college working with the Greenpeace Organizing Team and get the best hands-on training to become a leader in the fight to save the planet. Along the way, you'll get experience in grassroots organizing, direct action and campaign strategy — as well as the chance to travel abroad with Greenpeace on a team working to protect the earth.
Our fight to save the planet has grown more serious – the threat of global warming, destruction of ancient forests, deterioration of our oceans, and the threat of a nuclear disaster loom large. The Greenpeace Organizing Term is the best hands-on training for students to become environmental leaders and to develop the grassroots and campaign skills that it takes to stand up and protect the planet.
The Greenpeace Organizing Term combines in-house training and skills development with on-the-ground campaign work. Students will leave the program with a formal set of skills and actual experience. Each week will offer something new and different, combining case studies, issues briefings, skill development, reading discussion and campaign work. With the rare opportunity to work so deeply on one campaign, students will be challenged to take their skills to the next level.
