Vocations for Social Change Are Making A Come-Back!
On February 3, 2003, National Public Radio ran an interesting news story
on "Activism as a Profession." In the ten-minute story, NPR claimed that
increasing numbers of college-age people are thinking about making their
careers in the growing field of public interest advocacy and grassroots
organizing. The Boston-based Environmental Careers Organization (ECO) has
also noted this growing trend. Indeed, ECO now lists community organizing as
one of the twelve most dynamic environmental career opportunities in the
decades ahead.
In an effort to offer people who visit ECO's website more information
about the environmental advocacy and organizing field, ECO just posted an
interview with me on emerging trends in the field. I thought people on this
list might be interested in reading the interview, which will be on their
main careers page from now until April 1, 2003. You can access the interview
at: http://www.eco.org/career/career.html or write me directly for the full
text.
Also, I would appreciate it if you would forward this message on to
anyone you think might be interested in checking out Antioch New England's
new master's program in Environmental Advocacy and Organizing. We are
currently accepting applications for September 2003. For information on our
