Fellow Testimonials

"I worked with Congregation Rodef Sholom on designing and implementing a more uniform and efficient recycling system as well as introducing a composting system. I strongly believe that this specific project played a role in helping me get my current position. Through my involvement in the project, I believe that they got a good sense of my work ethic as well as my genuine passion for the field of waste management!"
- Izzy Parnell-Wolfe 

“Stanford has been a really great opportunity! Probably the best outcome I could have asked for once Climate Corps was over. Climate Corps was the only reason I got this [Environmental Engineer] position. I was giving my final webinar presentation to the water agencies in San Mateo County and my current boss at Stanford happened to listen in and she must've really liked it because she called me to tell me about the opening they had. Long story short, it all worked out!"
