The Climate Corps Network
The Climate Corps Network is made up of over 3,000 members, including 1,700 alumni from our three global programs based in China, India, and the United States. The Climate Corps Network seeks to facilitate lifelong learning that supports climate leaders to create impact at scale through connections and community. The network is an ongoing resource for the Climate Corps community that functions to:
Provide career support
Climate Corps has launched the careers of hundreds of talented graduate students. The network provides members with the ongoing support necessary for staying current in an ever-evolving field. We offer a variety of resources, including professional development webinars and workshops, access to a curated jobs board, and speaking opportunities for alumni to share career insights with the Climate Corps Network.
Establish connections
We help individuals build connections through every phase of their careers by facilitating network-building opportunities that provide support and guidance, such as:
- A mid-year annual mentorship program that matches volunteer alumni with current fellows.
- Affinity groups for alumni with marginalized and underrepresented backgrounds in the environmental space.
- A growing online community. Follow us on LinkedIn!
Foster advocacy
Climate Corps actively empowers network members to take action on climate policy to accelerate their development into positions of sustainability leadership. We provide training and support for aspiring advocates at the local, state and federal level. We offer webinars and trainings that empower members to create and execute individual advocacy plans.
Continued learning
The Climate Corps Network supports alumni in their growth and continued learning in their sustainability careers. We offer lunch & learns with EDF staff and webinars in partnership with the Net Zero Action Accelerator and other external partners.
