Climate Corps®

Accelerate & Accomplish Your Climate Goals

Climate Corps® is an innovative fellowship program that trains talented and passionate graduate students and pairs them with companies and public institutions dedicated to meeting their climate and energy goals.
We exist to build and mobilize a diverse Climate Workforce that will have an exponential impact on the climate crisis.
Fellows spend a summer designing tools and recommendations to accomplish emissions reduction goals by road mapping climate commitments, reducing energy consumption, procuring renewable energy, electrifying fleets, and engaging suppliers.

1 in 3 Fortune 100 companies have worked with Climate Corps.
