"I never thought I’d teach science, but I love it. I love the way you can be interactive. I have so many tools - demonstration, inquiry, and integration of social justice into my lessons…I truly believe garden time is good for everyone."
Max Jimenez, Climate Corps Education Outside Fellow

"When it comes to what SEI has put together, we can quickly move past that first day in terms of their resistance toward science because that first day, we’re building! Without the lesson development and curriculum SEI had developed and shared, it would have been challenging for me.All of the hands-on components and the connection to real world situations or real world issues has been a huge benefit to me."
Juan Hernandez, Teacher at Oceanside High School

"The folks that come through SEI’s Climate Corps are very motivated. They are discovering where they want to fit in the industry, and they really just dive in feet first to do the best job they can do and to learn as much as they can. For anyone who is thinking about hiring [a Fellow], I would say: hire."
Jenna Famular, Climate Corps Alumni and Partner

"It feels a lot better to be working a job that you can go home and feel good about at the end of the day. That’s what I’ve learned. When I’m working on solutions, I can tell people, ‘My job aligns with my values.’ And that’s so important."
Elif, previous Energize Colleges Intern at Sonoma State University

"I had to go out of my comfort zone and do things that I usually wouldn’t do, and I think that’s an aspect of leadership that is not really emphasized. You have to be adaptable to different situations. I want to use my leadership skills to create policies that improve the environment, but also I really want to do social justice work. Hopefully, I can continue to marry the two together in college and my career."
