CCAC Fellowships
with Tree San Diego
About
the Fellowship
Tree San Diego is excited to serve as a host partner for California Volunteers' California Climate Action Corps (CCAC) fellowship program. The CCAC employs more than 110 fellows statewide with each individual dedicating 1700 hours on projects aimed to safeguard our environment and support underserved communities affected by climate change. Fellows serve with a non-profit, tribe, public agency, or educational institution to support urban greening, food recovery, wildfire resiliency, and other community needs. Fellows receive benefits, professional development training, and the opportunity to join the next cohort of climate action leaders!
California Climate Action Corps accepts applications from those interested in serving for 11 months starting in September, with public agencies, tribes, nonprofits, and schools throughout the state to engage communities in climate action and education. As AmeriCorps members, selected Fellows will serve 1700+ hours and learn real-world climate action skills through community projects, while being part of this unique program and statewide force of emerging leaders. Fellows will earn a stipend of up to $33,000 (spread over 11 months) and combined education awards of $10,000 upon completion to pay educational expenses at eligible schools and training programs or repay qualified student loans.
