New Jersey AmeriCorps is announcing a comprehensive approach toward climate and environmental stewardship in the nation’s most densely populated state. Our five programs, which are listed below, represent conservation initiatives throughout the state, in urban, suburban, and rural areas. We are specifically addressing city beautification, food rescue, watershed protection, arborist training, energy efficiency, and community and student education. As part of the national AmeriCorps development of climate response and resiliency, our AmeriCorps members will have access to special training and career development opportunities. Programs will also be encouraged to post their recruitment information on the national Climate Corps portal.
