As you may know, the Greenpeace Organizing Term (GOT) recruitment season is well underway—the final application deadline is March 16th! To get the highest caliber students for the GOT program, we need your help. We need you to refer us lots of applicants. Because we all like sweet deals, this year we’re excited to introduce a massive, multi-school competition with a grand prize of a trip to Washington, D.C. or San Francisco for an actions training. The training will be your choice, either boat driving or wall climbing and it will be fully paid (including airfare and housing) by Greenpeace. We also have other prizes for your involvement. For every 5 applicants, you can choose a Greenpeace t-shirt or a Greenpeace tote bag (see the pictures).  There are just a few ground rules: 1) As soon as you get someone to apply to the program, email students@sfo.greenpeace.org with the name of your applicant, and your name, so we can keep track of who’s winning. 2) The training must be used within a year of winning the competition. Lastly, remember, the Greenpeace student team makes the final call on the competition.

Ideas for recruiting:
1. Make announcements in campus environmental groups with sign up sheet
2. Make announcements in classes with sign up sheet
3. Forward the email to listservs

Here’s some text about the GOT that you can use in your email recruitment:

The Greenpeace Organizing Term final application deadline is March 16th. Have you asked yourself lately: how do I get action, adventure, training and friends, all packed into one semester?
