Protecting the environment is the most important challenge facing our world. To win now and build a strong foundation for lasting progress, we need people who know how to organize: to run organizations and campaigns that will inspire the support and action we need to save our environment.

Our program starts with intensive classroom training. You learn about issues and campaigns, organizing theory and principles, and skills from recruiting volunteers to staging a media event. Then, you move to a more hands-on experience. You make a difference on important campaigns to transition our country to clean energy, protect wildlife, and more. For example, Natalie Woodland, an organizer from the Green Corps Class of 2023, brought together a coalition of more than 100 beekeepers and farmers that helped create a new policy to reduce pesticide use in Colorado.

We’re accepting the top 20 candidates for our 2027-2028 program. Graduates will join our nearly 450 alumni who are leading environmental campaigns and organizations across the country. If you’re passionate about the environment and ready to learn and practice the craft of organizing after graduation, apply today!

I was impressed that my student, Kayla, chose to complete her project even though she didn't have to. It's incredibly rewarding to see students use their talent and what they've learned to contribute to our community.

Kayla Walford '26 donated a handcrafted mother-daughter doll set, rooted in her Chinese-Jamaican heritage, to the AAPI History Museum in celebration of its one-year anniversary.

Moments like this remind me why I love what I do. Julia took two of my CBLR courses and spent over three years as a research assistant for our Japan-U.S. family & Education project. Seeing her continued commitment to education through her work as a lawyer is truly inspiring.

Julia reflects on how community-based learning shaped her path from Brown to a legal career serving K-12 schools.
