organizer of the
350.org. You’ll get amazing experience working on
environmental issues across the country: Green Corps sends organizers to
jumpstart campaigns for groups such as Rainforest Action Network,
Sierra Club, Greenpeace, Food and Water Watch and Environment
America all across the country.
You’ll have a real impact on some of the biggest environmental problems we’re facing today: Green Corps organizers have built the campaigns that helped keep the Arctic safe from drilling,
that led to new laws that support clean, renewable energy, that convinced major corporations to stop dumping in our oceans and much, much more. You’ll even get paid:
Green Corps Organizers earn a salary of $23,750. Organizers also
have a chance to opt into our health care program with a pre-tax
monthly salary deferral. We offer paid sick days and holidays, two weeks

to build their organizations and help them create social change and
protect our environment. In the next few months, we‘ll invite 35 college
graduates to join Green Corps in 2013-2014. We’re looking for people
