Leadership

The leadership of the Greenpeace Student Network consists of the Student Board and Campus Coordinators.

What is a campus coordinator?

Campus coordinators take charge of a Greenpeace campaign on their campus and stay in touch with other leaders in the Network to plug into joint activities. Campus coordinators also work with Student Network Staff to receive expert guidance in running a successful campaign.

Who are the campus coordinators?

Experienced student leaders from across the US and Canada who are dedicated to and passionate about making change on their campus. From kicking Kimberly-Clark off their campus to getting their elected representatives to sign onto the strongest climate legislation, campus coordinators are organizing students on their campuses to tackle top environmental issues.

Meet David Pinsky – Greenpeace Campus Coordinator 2008-2009

Hi, my name is David Pinsky. During the 2008-09 school year, I was a student at the University of North Carolina – Wilmington and a Greenpeace campus coordinator. I worked on the global warming campaign, which was calling on Congress members to sign onto the best legislation and become global warming champions.

I became a campus coordinator because UNCW had zero environmental awareness, our student environmental group needed guidance, and we wanted to really make a difference on environmental issues. Being a campus coordinator gave me the confidence and tools I needed to help build and lead my group to take on something as big as global warming and have a lot of fun doing it!

As a campus coordinator I worked with local media, community groups, and student organizations on campus to recruit volunteers for our campaign events. I helped organize a large media campaign, sponsorship from local businesses, and hundreds of volunteers to participate in an event in Wilmington. My group and I organized numerous meetings with our Congressional representative, Mike McIntyre, where we asked him to make global warming a priority.

Why should you become a campus coordinator? Because this is your opportunity to address the biggest environmental challenges facing our generation. Our environmental group went from 6 members to over 40 members! People all around campus and Wilmington know about our group, and our elected officials are hearing our demands for solutions on global warming. When I joined the Student Network, I became a part of a national community that cares about the environment. Speaking from experience, this community is both empowering and uplifting.

With trainings and professional support from Greenpeace, you will make a difference in the fight to save our planet. As a campus coordinator, you learn how to run effective campaigns and events, and you learn so much about yourself. As a student, I could not have asked for a better support team than the Student Network team. To keep this momentum going, we need leaders like you!

Are you ready to connect your campus with a national community of students taking the lead on solving the world’s most pressing environmental issues? If yes, become a campus coordinator today. We need your help more than ever, and the time to help is now.
