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.

To do what, exactly?
This is crazy.
The can have triad membership: Klimate Korps, Antifa, and the Democrat Party.
Commissars not corps.
Will they be used to clean up trash in cities like Scott Pressler has done? Nah, just a give away to make the yutes think the Dems care about the environment. A yute buying scheme with our tax money.
To be shut down when Trump becomes president again.....
Baloney. They’re being hired to harvest ballots.
yes, encourage your conservative children to snatch up these jobs and stop the little brown shirts.
Here is the real intention:
“Launched by the Biden Administration in September 2023, the American Climate Corps (ACC) is a “workforce training and service initiative that will prepare tens of thousands of young people for good-paying jobs in the clean economy.” The White House envisions that the ACC will mobilize more than 20,000 participants in its first year to do critical projects like strengthening community resilience to natural disasters, restoring America’s lands and waters, deploying clean energy technologies, >addressing environmental injustice<, and more. Through completing conservation and climate resilience work, ACC members will earn certifications and build skills on the path to high-quality jobs in the clean energy and climate resilience economy.”

“Young people” will be hired? Isn’t that age discrimination?
They need gullible and idealistic skulls full of mush to indoctrinate.
A bent towards liberalism is desirable as well.
Therefore, young people will be hired.
Communists are very good at creating and solving imaginary problems. They always lead to disasters.
If there was that much demand for it, industry would be working with technical colleges to train workers. This is another FedGov Green energy boondoggle.
“To do what, exactly?”
>addressing environmental injustice<
Reporting suspected violators to agencies. Federal intrusion into local jurisdictions.
Now that I’m retired, I’m tempted to apply as a young non-binary person of color and demand all remote work because.....Covid.
EC
It’s a vote-buying, budding brown-shirt, scam that polls well and nudges the country closer to financial collapse. How could they resist?
*Anyone else remember AmeriCorps started by Clinton?
Yea that worked out well.*
Still around. It’s the domestic version of the Peace Corps. It turns the young participants into leftists.
I’d gut them both and this new one I’d nip in the bud. So why does it get past the GOP congress?
All these sorts of Government programs do not want anyone who shows any sign of leadership. They only want sheep who remain sheep. Step out of line, don’t spout the Party line, and gone.
... and wear a t-shirt that proclaims:
Eliminate Fossil Fuels and Stop Global Warming
Support Nuclear Power
Fixed it.
The new SS.
