ACTION * TRAVEL * TRAINING
Spend a Semester with Greenpeace
http://www.greenpeace.org/got Greenpeace Organizing Term is an action-packed semester of training and
travel. Get the skills to protect the planet and get trained by the experts.
You’ll learn grassroots organizing, leadership, media skills, and campaign
strategy. You’ll climb, drive Greenpeace boats, and travel abroad to work with
international activists.
When I attended Change It! in DC over the summer it was mini version of the
Greenpeace Organizing Term and it was absolutely amazing. I can honestly stay
that I took away more from one week with Greenpeace than I did during the
entire course of my internship at an ENGO in Australia. If you have the time
to take off a summer or a semester to hang out with Greenpeace, you should
definitely do it! The summer GOT students were at Change It! and they were all
full of praise for the program. Among the many things last summers students
did was go on a trip to Wisconsin for an action in front of the Kimberly-Clark
headquarters. They also went on a trip to Germany. If you are interested in
applying, but want more information, let me know. I can answer some of your
questions, or I can connect you to a former student of the Greenpeace
Organizing Term.
