Dear Professor ,
My name is Amanda and I work with Green Corps, the Field School for Environmental Organizing.
I'm emailing to see if you can forward information about our program to your students at Oklahoma State this year. Applications for our 2016-2017 program are now being accepted and our next application deadline is quickly approaching on January 31st.
Green Corps runs a full year paid training program for college graduates that combines intensive class-room training with leaders in the environmental movement and field placement working on urgent environmental issues with organizations like the Sierra Club and Food & Water Watch. Some of our alumni include Phil Radford, Executive Director of Greenpeace USA and Sarah Hodgdon, the National Program Director at Sierra Club.
Can you forward this announcement and link below to your students to let them know about the opportunity?
Don't hesitate to email me back if you have any questions, and thank you!
Amanda Becker

That's why right now, what we really need is more Organizers - people who understand the power of public support and know how to mobilize it.
In Green Corps<http://greencorps.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=bfeb17ee494bd4861d90f62a1&id=0184e66b36&e=9e3c58c1d5>' yearlong paid program, you'll get intensive training in the skills you need to make a difference in the world. You'll get hands-on experience fighting to solve urgent environmental problems - climate change, deforestation, water pollution, factory farming and many others - with groups like Sierra Club and Food & Water Watch. 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.
