The Greenpeace Semester

The Greenpeace Semester is advanced training for students to become environmental leaders, held in Washington, DC. The program combines workshops in the classroom with hands-on field experience. You will learn how to win real victories for the planet, from shutting down coal plants to protecting ancient forests to getting companies to adopt sustainable seafood practices. You will receive briefings from issue experts on climate change, ocean protection, nuclear energy, forest conservation, toxic pollution, and corporate abuse of the environment.

Over 340 students from across the United States and Canada have been trained by professional activists committed to saving the planet and teaching the next generation of environmental leaders. Alumni have gone on to take on leadership roles in the Greenpeace Student Network, work on important environmental issues on their campuses, and even start their own organizations.
