Executive Leadership Talk

7 PM February 9th, SLE Lounge, FloMo

Apply to the Green Corps 2009-2010 Field School for Environmental Organizing

Application Deadline:  February 20th, 2009

Green Corps is looking for college graduates who are ready to take on the biggest environmental challenges of our day.

In Green Corps' year-long paid program, you'll get intensive training in the skills you'll need to make a difference in the world. You'll get hands-on experience fighting to solve urgent environmental problems — global warming, deforestation, water pollution and many others — with groups such as Sierra Club and Greenpeace. And, when you graduate from Green Corps, we'll help you find a career with one of the nation's leading environmental and social change groups.  

In your year with Green Corps: 

You'll get great training with some of the most experienced organizers in the field: Green Corps organizers take part in trainings with leading figures in the environmental and social change movements: people such as Adam Ruben, political director of MoveOn.org, and Bill McKibben, author and organizer of the "Step It Up" rallies for climate action.

You'll get amazing experience working on environmental issues across the country: Green Corps sends organizers to jumpstart campaigns for groups such as Rainforest Action Network and Environment America in San Francisco, Chicago, Boston and dozens of other places in between.

You'll have a real impact on some of the biggest environmental problems we're facing today: Green Corps organizers have built the campaigns that helped keep the Arctic safe from drilling, that led to new laws that support clean, renewable energy, that convinced major corporations to stop dumping in our oceans and much, much more.

You'll even get paid: Green Corps Organizers earn a salary of $23,750. Organizers also have a chance to opt into our health care program with a pre-tax monthly salary deferral. We offer paid sick days and holidays, two weeks paid vacation and a student loan repayment program for those who qualify.  

And when you graduate from the program, you'll be ready for what comes next: Green Corps will help connect you to environmental and progressive groups that are looking for full-time staff to build their organizations and help them create social change and protect our environment.  

In the next few months, we'll invite 35 college graduates to join Green Corps in 2009-2010. We're looking for people who are serious about saving the planet, people who have taken initiative on their campus or community, and people who are willing to roll up their sleeves and work for change over the long haul. 

If you think you're one of those people, visit www.greencorps.org to apply to join the 2009-2010 class of Green Corps' Field School for Environmental Organizing.  

Green Corps' year-long program begins in August 2009 with Introductory Classroom Training in Boston, and continues with field placements in multiple locations across the U.S. Candidates must be willing to relocate.

Stanford Pre-Launch Lunch for the Upcoming Book: “Getting to 50/50”

Wednesday February 11, 2009 at 12:00 PM

Hosted by the Michelle R. Clayman Institute for Gender Research and the Stanford Women's Community Center at the Old Fire Truck House, 433 Santa Teresa Street

"Anyone who wants to combine children and careers should read this book." Sheryl Sandberg, COO, Facebook               

"Once in a rare while, a book comes along and changes the entire nature of the discussion.  If Getting to 50/50 doesn't spark a revolution in work/life balance, I don't know what will."  Deborah Copaken Kogan, author of Between Here and April and Hell is Other Parents

"Getting to 50/50 is the first book I've read that gets it 100% right.   The advice is brilliant, the examples cogent and compelling, and the tone wise and humorous." Roderick Kramer, William R. Kimball Professor of Organizational Behavior, Stanford University Graduate School of Business

"Invaluable -- should be required reading when any couple applies for a marriage license."  Leslie Morgan Steiner, editor of Mommy Wars

"Getting to 50/50 builds on what the latest research tells us:  that children can thrive with two working parents and that fathers and mothers play equally important roles.  I wish this book had existed when I was raising young daughters."   Kathleen McCartney, Dean, Harvard Graduate School of Education

"Yesterday's books were about the war between the sexes. Getting to50/50 is a peace-treaty -- a solution where both sexes win." Penelope Trunk, author ofBrazen Careerist
