In recognition of Earth Day on April 22, join the California Climate Action Corps community at one of the many volunteer opportunities throughout Earth Month of Climate Action. Show up for climate and register for an event in your community – together we can make a difference.
We can all help our communities safely with COVID-19
During these difficult times, Californians come together to help each other. You can start by joining the movement here:
In California, climate change is a threat to systems and people across the state. Climate change is an existential crisis. Each of us has a role to play. You can take meaningful action today to help communities across our state.
California Volunteers and our partners host Community Climate Action Days to bring us together to work on projects protecting communities from climate change while improving quality of life and access to green spaces. Sign Up for the Los Angeles Community Climate Action Day!
Climate Action Counts is an effort to unite ONE MILLION Californians to take everyday climate actions at home and in your neighborhood. Take the pledge during Earth Month and be entered for a chance to win up to $500 towards a local farmers market or a CSA (community supported agriculture) farm box program thanks to the California Volunteers Fund!
