Details:
The purpose of this grant is to implement a pilot Maine Climate Corps program – a community service corps program with the mission of responding to the impacts of climate change. In addition to providing direct service, this grant is an opportunity for community organizations to plan for future Climate Corps funding or AmeriCorps State competitions. The grantee will be a partner of Volunteer Maine to collaboratively develop a new model for service that tackles the challenges of climate change.
