Description

In September 2020, California Volunteers launched the California Climate Action Corps, the country’s first statewide corps of its kind with the mission of empowering Californians to take meaningful action to protect their homes, health and communities against the harshest impacts of climate change. As a foundational element of this new initiative, through 2021, California Volunteers deployed more than 300 AmeriCorps fellows to support local climate action projects in front-line and low-income communities across the state. All Fellows received a living allowance and were eligible for an education award upon completion of their term. The 2022 Climate Action Corps Fellowship Program Funding Opportunity provides state and federal funds for an intermediary organization to collaborate with California Volunteers to design, launch, and manage the Governor’s Initiative California Climate Action Corps. The selected intermediary organization will collaborate with California Volunteers to develop and deliver the next phase of the California Climate Action Corps: an annual deployment of approximately 195-250 AmeriCorps members split between full-time and part-time summer programming.
