Thirty-one years after founding EarthCorps, the first international youth conservation corps, I am now collaborating with many former staff and corps members around the world, along with new partners, to help launch World Climate Corps.If the United States in 1933, during the Great Depression, could launch a Civilian Conservation Corps and engage 300,000 young men each year for ten years, then surely the climate crisis today requires a global equivalent—a program that mobilizes men and women from all nations, by the millions, to assist public, private and NGO organizations scaling up the most effective climate solutions at hand. WCC is designed to be a large-scale prototype of such a program. Over five years, WCC will engage a total of 20,000 Fellows (ages 23-26) in overseas, team-based work and Master’s level study. A Fellow from any nation will spend a year in a different region of the world as part of a multinational, 24-person team assisting successful local entities working in a range of fields: renewable energy, energy efficiency, reforestation and urban greening, agriculture and land use, and health and education.

I assisted Business for America and Crowdvoting.World in efforts to strengthen democracy in the United States and encourage participatory decision-making in institutions of all sizes around the world.
