About
Are You Looking For An Activist Career?
Students in Antioch New England's one-of-a-kind master's program in Environmental Advocacy and Organizing are trained for activist careers as public interest advocates and grassroots organizers working for climate protection, ecological sustainability, social justice, and the democratic control of corporations. Our motto is “Democracy is not a spectator sport.”
Do You Want To Become A Social Change Leader?
Our training program focuses on five key areas: ecological literacy, big-picture political analysis, vision, and strategy; social action skills; organizational leadership; and self-renewal. Here, you will hone your ability to organize dynamic campaigns that win significant reforms, mobilize increasing numbers of citizens, and build stronger progressive organizations and coalitions.
Practice Makes Perfect
You will also get practical experience through two, 300-hour field placements, as well as our Advocacy Clinic seminars, where you will do real work for real clients, offering them research, public policy critiques and analysis, strategic planning, campaign materials, action planning, and development plans.
Examples of EAOP Student Internships
Environmental Advocacy and Organizing internships include working for nonprofit organizations such as Alternatives in Community and Environment, CorpWatch, Sierra Club, New England Coalition Against Nuclear Pollution, Clean Water Action, and the American Friends Service Committee’s Fair Trade Program. We have also created an EAOP/Congressional Progressive Caucus Fellowship Semester in DC for selected students.
What Does The Executive Director of MoveOn.Org Have To Say About the EAOP?
Eli Pariser: “There are just too few institutions that help inspire, train, and nurture progressive activists. That’s why I’m so excited about Antioch University New England’s Environmental Advocacy and Organizing Program. It’s a graduate program that offers in-depth activist training and even connects its graduates into an ongoing support network. I encourage everyone seeking to work as a public interest advocate or a grassroots organizer to check out Antioch’s advocacy and organizing program.”
