“SEI is great. It’s like, ‘build a car and have it race. Build a solar water heater’... All of this stuff builds on their understanding of the world around them, you know, ‘reactivity... how much energy it takes to heat up water... understanding how their electricity gets transmitted to a light switch...’ All this stuff is so useful for life. It’s good stuff. I dig it.”
Jessica Govani, Teacher at Antioch High School

​“Something that I’ve learned is that in order to be an environmental leader you need to be aware of your surroundings, not only of the environment but of those around you. [The School of Environmental Leadership] program allows you to understand that it is more than just plants and animals. It’s everything.”
Sarah Mondesir, Student at the Marin School of Environmental Leadership (MSEL)

“I love working with kids, and to build something tangible, to work with plants, to grow food – in my mind, that’s the most obvious way to create justice, to feed our communities, to teach others how to feed their communities, and to pass that love and knowledge and respect for nature and connection on to children.”
Shannon Mo, Climate Corps Education Outside Fellow

“[Energize Colleges] has tons of research material already to offer us, and so we’re super excited to pull all [of it] together and connect the dots so that we can get faculty super excited and see some big change coming out of this.”

“I think [Climate Corps] is a great opportunity for sustainability-minded leaders to get access to an awesome network of people, training, real-life experience to advance their work, cultivate the skills necessary for a successful career working for the environment... Without SEI, I wouldn’t be in this position that I’m in right now.”

“[Climate Action Corps] is a wonderful opportunity for learning about what you think you want to do and maybe about yourself in a professional context – what does or doesn’t work for you in a work environment, and that is super valuable to know.”
Benji Miramontes, Former California Climate Action Corps Fellow and Climate Corps Fellow
