Community Organizers are people who are eager to make a change. Community Organizers lead action chapters on campus, with the belief that a small, but motivated, group of activists can make a big impact. Green Course is a Grassroots organization, therefore the Community Organizers are the ones who guide their chapter to select a campaign and plan their action strategy together. The Community Organizers guide the individual and professional development of the activists in their roles and maintain democratic, transparent conduct in the group. Every chapter has specialist activists trained as: spokesperson, government liaison, etc. The Organizers guide the specialist activists with the support of the corresponding specialists in the National Chapter.
