Training a new generation of environmental leaders by working in communities with local groups to preserve forests, clean up our air and promote cleaner energy.
Green Corps was founded in 1992 by leading environmental advocates with an important mission: to train the next generation of environmental leaders while making a difference on critical environmental campaigns. Green Corps' niche is working at the grassroots level, bringing people into the movement. We train talented young people to become environmental leaders while tackling important issue campaigns.
Over the last twenty years, Green Corps has graduated nearly 300 emerging environmental leaders from our yearlong Environmental Leadership Training Program, with eighty-five percent of our graduates continuing their careers in the environmental and social change field. Today, our graduates work as executive directors, field directors, campaigners, advocates and grassroots organizers with leading regional and national groups such as the Sierra Club, Climate Solutions, FUSE Washington, Natural Resources Defense Council, League of Conservation Voters, and Environment America.
