Change Corps Reviews

As 2016 alumni, I wholly believe the time I spent working at Change Corps are the building blocks for my career in organizing and political action. The three steps of the program include training, campaign work, finished with lifelong job referrals for Change Corps graduates. Through working in this model, you start with learning and you finish with doing. And you're working on some of the most important and urgent issues. During my time I worked to pressure corporations to adopt better enviro policies, save the ACA, fight against the global gag rule, protect Planned Parenthood, and register people to vote in communities of color. My cohort are some of the best people I know, to this day. They're all doing awesome things after graduation, all across the country. From environmental advocacy to election work, or working in education reform.

A lot of responsibility really quickly - In Change Corps they will see your potential and harness it even if you don't see it yet. They will push you to your limits and allow you to grow as a professional like no other place you could work in at 22-23 years old. Your coworkers will be your lifeline. I loved being able to move around the country for a year.
