Climate Corps AmeriCorps (CCAC) is a specialized track in the Climate Corps Fellowship program that utilizes AmeriCorps funding to serve environmentally and economically underserved communities across California. This program provides municipalities and nonprofits with cost-effective, high quality Fellows that advance sustainability programs relating to resource reduction, K-12 education, and community outreach. Climate Corps AmeriCorps was created in part due to growing environmental needs in the areas of water conservation, clean energy, and waste reduction. CCAC will target California communities in high need to meet the Governor’s executive orders to reduce water usage by 25% and greenhouse gas emissions to 40% below 1990 levels by 2030.​
