Change It participants will travel to D.C. to work one-on-one with Greenpeace mentors, who will provide personalized training on campaign strategy, recruitment, and event planning. Students will also travel offsite to participate in a campaign event. And at the end of the week they will head off from the program empowered with the knowledge and skills that will allow them to become leaders for change in the environmental and social justice movements.
