You Can Start Applying For The American Climate Corps Next Month

The long-awaited jobs board for the American Climate Corps, promised early in the Biden administration, will open next month, according to details shared exclusively with Grist.

The White House plans to officially launch an online platform in April. At first, only a couple of hundred jobs will be posted, but eventually up to 20,000 young people are expected to be hired in the program’s first year.

“The American Climate Corps is a story of hope and possibilities,” said Maggie Thomas, a special assistant to the president for climate change. “There’s an incredible demand signal from young people who we see as being put on a pathway to good-paying careers.”

That path could include work such as installing wind and solar projects, conserving energy in homes, and restoring ecosystems, such as wetlands, to protect towns from flooding.

Given the demand, President Biden promised to triple the size of the corps in a decade at his State of the Union speech last week. His newly proposed budget calls for an $8 billion expansion of the American Climate Corps to employ an additional 50,000 corps members per year by 2031.

“Young people” will be hired? Isn’t that age discrimination?

Will these new troops come arrest all climate deniers and send them to re-education camps?

...to protect towns from flooding

Remember the Dims blocking the upgrades to levees north of New Orleans? How'd that work out in 2005? Does anyone really expect the Dims to do it right this time?

The only thing Orwell got wrong in “1984” was the date.

Young people? If this is such an epic battle to save the planet, wouldn’t it require the best of the best, and not just target young people? Yeah, I know… it’s rhetorical.
