About this opportunity

The Climate Corps US Fellowship Program is a summer fellowship program designed for graduate students motivated to join the climate workforce and make a meaningful impact on sustainability challenges within host organizations.

The program includes a week-long virtual Foundations Week training followed by placement at a host organization where fellows work on projects ranging from carbon reduction strategies to sustainability analytics and environmental management initiatives. Past fellows have come from diverse academic backgrounds including business, engineering, sustainability, environmental management, public policy, data science, and other fields. The program provides hands-on experience solving environmental challenges while building professional networks in the climate workforce.
