Presentation

Environmental Advocacy and Organizing Program

The best way to effect change in any area is to advocate on behalf of your cause. Environmental Advocacy and Organizing trains talented public interest advocates and grassroots organizers who work for environmental protection, corporate accountability, and social justice.

Dig into five key areas.
Our one-of-a-kind activist training curriculum focuses on ecological literacy; big-picture political analysis, vision, and strategy; social action skills; organizational leadership; and personal transformation and self-renewal.

Become a leader.
You hone your ability to advocate and organize, including managing time, people, and money. You learn how to organize dynamic campaigns that win significant reforms, mobilize increasing numbers of citizens, and build stronger progressive organizations and coalitions.

Practice makes perfect.
Grounded in your substantive knowledge of environmental science and advocacy skills, you participate in an advocacy clinic, which is your chance to provide advocacy research, public policy critiques and analysis, strategic planning, issue and corporate campaign materials, action planning, and communications and membership development plans to real-life clients.

“The Environmental Advocacy and Organizing Program is a unique gem in the academic world: a values-based training program for effective, progressive leadership. Its flexibility, its relevance to local, regional, national, and international issues, and its holistic approach to analyzing and helping to solve a wide range of environmental, economic, and social problems have made this program an invaluable undertaking.” — Peter Alexander, MS ’04
