Fellowship Positions

California Climate Action Corps Full-Time Fellowship

California Climate Action Corps (CCAC) is the country’s first statewide initiative designed to empower individuals to take meaningful action on climate change. This paid service program places emerging leaders with public agencies, nonprofits, tribal communities, and educational institutions to mobilize communities through climate action focused on urban greening, organic waste and edible food recovery, and wildfire resiliency.

Our fellowship placements are overseen by California Volunteers and Bay Area Community Resources. Fellows serve as AmeriCorps members and work with us for approximately eleven months to support community climate action, education, and assessment projects.

CCAC has closed applications for the 2024-25 Fellowship Term (September 16, 2024 – August 15, 2025).  Fill out an interest form to be notified when applications open up for the next term.
