"I think [Climate Corps] is a great opportunity for sustainability-minded leaders to get access to an awesome network of people, training, real-life experience to advance their work, cultivate the skills necessary for a successful career working for the environment... Without SEI, I wouldn’t be in this position that I’m in right now.” Banu Erdim, Kitsap Bank |
What SEI's Climate Corps Fellows Are Up To
|
“I am working on projects related to increasing citywide resilience, and building electrification. I also have the opportunity to help Oakland craft its Zero-Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Action Plan. My favorite part [of my position] is getting to talk to people that are so passionate about the work that they do. The most important skill [I’ve learned as a Fellow] is learning how to talk to people about what I'm working on. “

“I am working on developing strategic outreach materials to promote energy efficiency to recycled product manufacturers in CalRecycle's database. Currently I am researching energy efficiency programs for industrial manufacturers and conducting informational interviews with various stakeholders. I am recently proud of a map I made - it overlays CalRecycle's Recycling Market Development Zones on IOU territories.”
Halina Do-Linh Climate & Energy Fellow, CalRecycle |

“I teach elementary school students interactive lessons that focus on social emotional well-being, hands-on science, and exploring connections with the natural world. Throughout the pandemic, half of my lessons are taught in-person in the garden and half are taught virtually. The most important lessons I have learned this year are about positive discipline, teaching with an equity lens, and maintaining hope in a time of uncertainty. I am often humbled and always find myself learning new things from my students and my peers.”
Maceo Hastings Porro Garden Educator Fellow, LifeLab |

“I’m conducting analysis on Grades of Green’s social impact through data and GIS evaluation, determining key disparities in the company’s operating procedures and distribution method. We have recently launched an Environmental Justice Initiative at Grades of Green seeking to work with schools and communities that are environmentally disadvantaged!”

“I’ve been continuously working on what we call a Sustainability Roadshow, where we inform different groups on campus about the AASHE STARS program and the results from our first report. From those presentations and meetings we have been able to expand our scope of work to include looking at academic policies so we can further integrate sustainability on campus. A recent accomplishment I am proud of is meeting with the Athletics department and getting them on board with our sustainability work.”
