campus climate action corps

the campus climate action corps (ccac) project is a 卡塔尔vs厄瓜多尔亚盘 initiative that aims to build the capacity of campuses and their community partners to create change that leads to increased energy efficiency and improvements for at-risk ecosystems by implementing local solutions for underserved households and communities.

ccac will begin with an initial launch in the midwest, northeast, and southeast. in these regions, teams of ccac americorps members will host community environmental education events, conduct home energy assessments, including home energy assistance referrals, and implement low-tech home energy interventions to help advance public knowledge and increase motivation to conserve energy and reduce carbon emissions. ccac members will also implement projects in underserved communities that enhance ecosystem health and leverage local volunteers to support ccac environmental stewardship activities.

ccac is focused on supporting campus/community partnerships that:

raise awareness and address urgent climate issues in underserved communities
lower energy use and energy costs for low-income households
improve at-risk ecosystems in underserved areas

become a ccac host site

ccac host sites will host small teams of americorps members to contribute to sustainability efforts on campus and in local communities. this is an incredible opportunity for campuses to initiate or deepen their community engagement efforts and design community-based solutions to your area’s most pressing environmental issues.

for a moderate programmatic fee, your campus can leverage an energized team of americorps members and unlock access to a national hub of leaders in community engagement and climate change in higher education.
