Greetings-
The Biden-Harris Administration is hard at work preparing to launch the first
cohort of the American Climate Corps by summer 2024. We can’t wait to share
with you the hundreds of paid opportunities to tackle the climate crisis and
advance environmental justice that we are building – from restoring
watersheds and coastlines and creating urban parks and green spaces, to
weatherizing homes and helping families save on their energy bills, to
helping communities prepare for and recover from extreme climate disasters,
and more.
As we gear up for a successful launch, we want to hear directly from you! We’re excited
to announce that we’re hosting virtual listening sessions to hear your ideas
about how to shape this historic, groundbreaking initiative.
Each listening session will last roughly 90 minutes and will feature a
special guest and climate champion like Senator Ed Markey, Representative
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland, White House
National Climate Advisor Ali Zaidi, AmeriCorps CEO Michael Smith, and more.
Sign up below for a listening session that is right for you:
January 16th 6pm ET // Register here
January 25th 6pm ET // Register here
February 1st 10am ET // Register here
Given the level of anticipated interest, we are asking everyone to limit
their comments to 3 minutes or less. If you’re unable to join us, or have
more to share, please send your thoughts, comments, and ideas to: ACC@americorps.gov
by January 31st, 2024.
As we continue working to build the American Climate Corps, we wanted to
share some opportunities that are available right now that might be of
interest to you. While we work to get the American Climate Corps up and
running, these opportunities provide a great running start to making a
difference in your community.
We can’t wait to see the amazing things you're going to do for
people and the planet.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon,
The American Climate Corps Team
