Fellows Deployed as Part of California Volunteers-Led California Climate Action Corps
January 23, 2021 - SACRAMENTO – Over the last two weeks California Volunteers, Office of the Governor hosted a series of virtual events to welcome the Fellows of the first-ever statewide climate corps in the nation, California Climate Action Corps. Sixty-three Fellows across California will spend nearly eight months advancing climate action projects such as urban tree planting, food sustainability, and wildfire resilience in some of the state’s most vulnerable communities.
During the two-week orientation, Fellows participated in virtual sessions presented by climate experts, community leaders and elected officials. In a recording, Governor Gavin Newsom welcomed the Fellows and thanked them for their commitment to fight climate change.
