American Climate Corps Listening Session

American Climate Corps is a new initiative to train young people in high-demand skills for jobs in the clean energy economy. The Corps will put a new generation of Americans to work conserving our lands and waters, bolstering community resilience, advancing environmental justice, deploying clean energy, implementing energy efficient technologies, and tackling climate change. American Climate Corps members will gain the skills necessary to access good-paying jobs that are aligned with high-quality employment opportunities after they complete their paid training or service program.

The Biden-Harris Administration is hosting virtual listening sessions to hear our ideas on how to shape this historic initiative. Each listening session will feature a special guest and climate champion like Senator Ed Markey, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland, White House National Climate Advisor Ali Zaidi, AmeriCorps CEO Michael Smith, and more.

Participants are asked to please keep comments to under 3 minutes. If you are unable to join a listening session or have more to share, send your thoughts and ideas to: ACC@americorps.gov by January 31, 2024.
