United StatesAPPLY NOW FOR A FREE, WEEKLONG GREENPEACE STUDENT ACTIVISM TRAINING
Deadline in less than 2 weeks!
A new wave of activism has hit the student movement. Students are organizing on hundreds of campuses in every corner of the country. The truth is, as fast as we are growing, it is not enough to be active. To meet the scale of the challenges we face, we must learn how to create large-scale social change. That's where you come in.
For one week this summer, Greenpeace will put on a revolutionary new training for the 100 of the best student leaders in the country. The program will be challenging, motivating, and comprehensive. You will be ready to run a groundbreaking campaign on your campus this Fall and take leadership in a powerful Greenpeace student network designed to win bolder victories to protect the planet. The best part: thanks to the generosity of our partner, Seventh Generation, the training will be FREE for everyone accepted including registration, travel, lodging, and food!
