What's the Greenpeace Organizing Term?
It's is an action-packed semester and the best hands-on training for students to become environmental leaders.
The "GOT" will give you the skills that you need to be part of the next wave of passionate and talented student leaders that help make the dream of a green and peaceful world a reality. The GOT also includes international travel, networking with Greenpeace staff and student leaders, and over 50 trainings from the experts in grassroots organizing and campaign strategy.
The program is held 3 times a year: Spring (February-April), Summer (June-August) and Fall (September-December).
