Applications for the American Climate Corps open next month

Starting in April, Americans can finally apply for the long-awaited American Climate Corps. The program, modeled after Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Civilian Conservation Corps, will place people in a number of positions related to climate change. While the White House expects to hire up to 20,000 people, only a couple hundred jobs will be posted when the portal opens next month.

We hear more from Kate Yoder, staff writer with our editorial partners at Grist.
