Dawn's Digression.
Tuesday, November 12, 2002
I wouldn't trade a moment of the last 10 years of my life. I've had some nice adventures, made great friends, and it got me where I am at this moment (both blessing and curse)....
BUT. Every now and then something like this shows me what I've missed. This just sounds wonderful.
I will never force my kids to do what I didn't, but I will make sure they understand the consequences of choosing life over education.

GREEN CORPS - TRAINING THE NEXT GENERATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL LEADERS
ORGANIZATION: Green Corps is a non-profit field school for environmental organizing, founded by leading environmentalists in 1992 to identify and train the next generation of environmental leaders. Our program includes intensive classroom training, hands-on experience running urgent environmental and public health campaigns, and placement assistance in permanent positions with leading environmental groups.
Job Description and Qualifications Can you imagine yourself running a campaign to defend old growth forests from corporate logging companies, protecting local communities from pesticides or starting your own environmental group? Green Corps' one-year, full-time, paid Environmental Leadership Training Program gives you the best training available to launch an organizing and advocacy career.
TRAINING: The Introductory Classroom Training, held in Boston, MA, teaches you to mobilize grassroots support, train community leaders, and work with
the media. You will learn about issues you care about - from endangered species, to corporate responsibility to toxic threats to communities. You will learn from environmental leaders who have real-life experience fighting to protect our environment like Dolores Huerta, Co-Founder of United Farm Workers, and Bob Bingaman, National Field Director of Sierra Club. Four subsequent week-long classroom training sessions held throughout the year teach you additional skills and hone your ability to plan and implement effective campaigns.
RESPONSIBILITIES: As a Green Corps Field Organizer, you'll plan and implement a series of campaigns conducted on behalf of groups like Rainforest Action Network and the Sierra Club. Your job will include recruiting, training and supervising volunteers, interns and staff; working with the media; fundraising; and mobilizing grassroots support.
JOB PLACEMENT: Our graduates are in high demand and quickly find jobs working on issues they care about. After you complete the training program,
Green Corps will connect you to organizations with job openings as well as other opportunities for full-time social change work.
