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, factory farming and
many others — with groups such as Sierra Club and Food and Water

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,

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 2013 -2014. We’re looking for people who are serious about

effort to make a great education, and the opportunities that come with it,
a reality for all students. Teach For Americas network in the 2012-13
school year includes 10,400 corps members teaching in 46 regions

or rural public school, and support you with coaching and ongoing
professional development throughout your two years to help you achieve
success in your classroom and beyond.
The Problem of Educational Inequity
In America today, 9-year-olds in low-income communities are already
three grade levels behind their peers in high-income communities. Half
of them wont graduate from high school. Those who do graduate will
read and do math, on average, at the level of eighth graders in highincome communities. This educational inequity is one of our nations
most pressing problems, and Teach For America enlists our most
promising future leaders in the movement to solve it. Through the
combined efforts of our corps members and alumni, working alongside
other members of the communities we serve, we will achieve our vision:
One day, all children in this nation will have the opportunity to attain an
excellent education.

the nature of the AmeriCorps competitive grant process and the
dependence on Congressional funding cycles, we cannot guarantee these
benefits for corps members serving during the 2013-2014 school year
until receiving final confirmation in June 2012. Recent changes in
national service laws may result in an adjustment to the education award
for the 2013-2014 year. Most corps members use their AmeriCorps
awards to cover the costs of coursework required to obtain their teaching
certification. For more details, please review the regional cost
comparison tools on our website.

your classroom.
