The American Climate Corps is now hiring

President Joe Biden has announced the opening of applications for the American Climate Corps, aiming to enlist 20,000 individuals in its inaugural year. With positions ranging from coastal conservation in Florida to stream restoration in Montana, the program seeks to address climate change through hands-on initiatives across 36 states, Puerto Rico, and Washington, D.C. Inspired by FDR's Civilian Conservation Corps, the initiative aims to train participants in various climate-related tasks, from installing solar panels to fighting wildfires. Biden's Earth Day announcements, including $7 billion in grants for solar power installation and energy cost reduction for low-income households, align with the administration's commitment to climate action and appeal to the demographic that strongly supports such efforts. Despite initial setbacks, including funding challenges, the program's official launch marks a significant step towards fulfilling climate goals and fostering environmental stewardship.
