"Our Climate Corps Fellow burst into our office with a flurry of energy and a willingness to make change. In very short order, he has established himself as an integral member of our conservation efforts, providing a fresh eye on existing programs, questioning assumptions, and bringing new ideas to the table. To get such a high caliber candidate so cost-effectively was a major blessing. In fact, we liked him so much that we hired him to stay on." - Nik Kaestner, Director of Sustainability at San Francisco Unified School District |
