We are accepting applications for the Fall 2009 Class!

I now have the skills and the confidence to organize people around a cause, and had learned how to pass those skills on. I also discovered the importance of collective effort, and that we must learn how to unite people in order to tackle the major problems that face the earth today.

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. We are looking for the next generation of student leaders who are ready to stand up and protect the planet.

We are looking for:

  • Students who are passionate, smart, and visionary.
  • Applicants must be committed to protecting the environment.
  • Rising freshmen and sophomores are preferred.
  • Must be 18-24 years of age as well as a current undergraduate student. No prior experience is necessary.
  • Greenpeace strongly encourages applications from women, people of color and other underrepresented communities.

You'll be:

  • making an investment in your leadership skills
  • getting training in grassroots organizing, media, direct action, and campaign strategy
  • traveling with Greenpeace on campaign trips and on the Greenpeace Expedition, meeting with incredible activists working to protect the planet!
