Fellow Testimonials
"Climate Corps gives driven, intelligent, and passionate professionals who are new to the sustainability career - or careers in general - a chance to shine despite not having years of experience. They gave me a chance as a recent grad, and I've only received overwhelmingly positive feedback about the impact I was allowed to make, and my host site hired me on as a full time coordinator after my fellowship term! I've learned and grown so much as a professional and a person during this past year."

“The Climate Corps program has been such an enriching and invaluable experience for me. I got so much out of working with my host site and all of the fellows are so knowledgeable and amazing. The Climate Corps staff is immensely supportive and it's evident that they take their time in planning trainings that are inspiring and educational."

"Getting my degree was where I was given the chance to ride the sustainability bike, and Climate Corps was my opportunity to take off the training wheels and fall off once or twice. Having this experience, of triumphs and mistakes, is really eye-opening and reaffirms my commitment to a career in sustainability."

"Climate Corps offered a valuable foot in the door into a sector that needs all hands on deck, but often lacks set pathways for young professionals to get started. Through my placement, I was able to gain on the ground experience in environmental policy and planning, climate resilience, and equitable outreach. I am deeply grateful to the Climate Corps staff, my host site and supervisors, and everyone involved in this fellowship for helping build the workforce of the future."
