If you are passionate about nurturing a healthy and sustainable future for our communities, then Sustainability Service Corps is for you!
Sustainability Service Corps (SSC) is a bridge-to-career AmeriCorps Fellowship program that delivers professional development to emerging climate protection leaders who implement projects related to sustainability, education, and community engagement for municipalities, nonprofits, schools, and vulnerable communities across California.
Our mission is to implement community-based climate change solutions by empowering the next generation of leaders committed to a just and sustainable future. During the 11-month term of service, SSC Fellows have the opportunity to make significant contributions by leading meaningful projects while also developing as professionals, growing their networks, and establishing a career in the climate field.
SSC Fellows are matched with organizations across California in target regions that are vulnerable to the effects of climate change, including the San Francisco Bay Area, Southern California, the Central Valley, and the Central Coast. Fellows empower climate-ready communities to build a sustainable, healthy, and just future for our people and planet.
Program term dates are September 1, 2026 to July 30,2027.
