The planet needs all the help it can get. To win now and build a strong foundation for lasting progress, we need people who know how to organize: to run organizations and campaigns that will inspire the support and action we need to save our environment. Our program starts with intensive classroom training. You learn about issues and campaigns, organizing theory and principles, and skills from recruiting volunteers to staging a media event. Then, you move to a more hands-on experience. You make a difference on important campaigns to transition our country to clean energy, protect wildlife, and more. For example, Lauren Karpinski, an organizer from the Green Corps Class of 2019, brought together a coalition of 40 groups that helped win a landmark solar energy bill in Arkansas.

 

We’re accepting the top 20 candidates for our 2025-2026 program. Graduates will join our more than 400 alumni who are leading environmental campaigns and organizations across the country. If you’re passionate about the environment and ready to learn and practice the craft of organizing after graduation, apply today!

Not a graduating senior? Add your name to our list to receive updates about Green Corps including summer internships and jobs in the environmental and broader social change field!

Green Corps’ year-long program begins in August 2025 with introductory classroom training, and continues with field placements in multiple locations across the U.S. (Green Corps also offers a short-term program beginning in January 2025.) Candidates must be willing to relocate. Please contact Renee Wellman at renee@greencorps.org with additional questions.

We're flexible in the exact scheduling of how you complete these hours. There is also opportunity to continue working with us after this season.

On the farm, we are instituting strict personal hygiene regimes for all food production staff; ensuring the cleanliness of all tools, implements and surfaces; and keeping vegetable handling to a minimum.
