GrizzlyCorps Program

GrizzlyCorps is an AmeriCorps fellowship program designed by Project Climate at UC Berkeley’s Center for Law, Energy, and the Environment in partnership with CaliforniaVolunteers. Our program sends recent college graduates into rural communities across California to promote regenerative agri-food systems and fire and forest resilience. We aim to expand capacity for organizations working on community resilience and climate action while bolstering the next generation of professionals at the forefront of climate change solutions.

Each year, GrizzlyCorps sends up to 45 full-time fellows to placement sites in forest and farm communities throughout the state for 11 months. Fellows support their hosts through a series of capacity-building projects that aim to improve the impact of their work, build community resilience, and respond to climate change.
