Climate Corps is a 10-month professional development program where Fellows implement climate change resiliency projects at leading organizations. I worked with Congrega0on Rodef Sholom on designing and implemen0ng a more uniform and efficient recycling system as well as introducing a compos0ng system. I strongly believe that this specific project played a role in helping me get my current posi0on (Educa0on Coordinator at Marin Sanitary). Through my involvement in the project, I believe that they got a good sense of my work ethic as well as my genuine passion for the field of waste management! -Izzy Parnell-Wolfe (2015-16 Fellow) Stanford has been a really great opportunity! Probably the best outcome I could have asked for once Climate Corps was over. Climate Corps was the only reason I got this [Environmental Engineer] posi0on. I was giving my final webinar presenta0on to the water agencies in San Mateo County and my current boss at Stanford happened to listen in and she must’ve really liked it because she called me to tell me about the opening they had.
