Participant: California Climate Action Corps offered through California Volunteers connects recent graduates to sustainability work

Angel, a commenter, said she learned about the California Climate Action Corps and that the program provided work opportunities for recent college graduates in sustainability and environmental protection. "So, yeah, I actually started through a program that is offered by the state of California called California Climate Action Corps," Angel said. "So it's a program through the, California Volunteer System and the Office of the Governor that offers, you know, people like myself who are coming out of college to, you know, have opportunities of employment in different organizations relating to the field of sustainability and environmental protection."

In brief remarks that began with a personal note — "My name is Angel. I love UCR. It's, you know, it's probably 1 of my favorite places in the whole world, honestly" — Angel described the Climate Action Corps as a pathway from college into paid or placement opportunities in environmental work. She framed the program as state-supported and tied to California Volunteers and the Office of the Governor, which she named as program partners.
