Fellows will focus on developing and implementing climate action projects with a strong emphasis on urban tree planting, food rescue programs and fire resilience. Fellows will receive a living stipend and, after completing a term of service, will be eligible for a scholarship to pay for college or to pay off student loans.

Climate Action Corps Fellows will spend seven months to a year supporting community climate action projects through partnerships with AmeriCorps programs implemented by the Local Government Commission and Bay Area Community Resources.

In addition to the Fellows program, California Climate Action Corps will engage people through a variety of levels and activities, from those who have an hour to commit at home, to those who can commit a year of service, to everything in between. In partnership with VolunteerMatch, California Volunteers is also establishing a statewide online volunteer hub of climate-focused volunteer opportunities. Environmental and climate-focused organizations will be able to post service opportunities for local volunteers, allowing every Californian to make a difference in their own community.
