Do something impactful this summer and make a difference in your community, apply for the Organizer Leadership Training Program!

The Student PIRGs and Green Corps train thousands of young organizers every year. Our training programs don’t just talk about the issues, we train organizers to take real action. The goal of this program is to give you hands-on experience organizing campaign actions in your community.

You will have the opportunity to learn from some of the top social change organizers with decades of experience in campaign work. Graduates of our program continue their organizing work into the school year with new leadership skills and professional connections with top-student leaders around the country.
