How We Work
WCCN is creating a climate resilient Washington through enterprising service projects, community partnership, and investments in the next generation of environmental leaders. Our network connects people and organizations with funding, training, and shared resources to strengthen local capacity for climate solutions.
History
Expanding climate workforce opportunities since 2023
In 2023, the Washington State Legislature passed Second Substitute House Bill 1176, expanding service projects that mobilize young adults and veterans, provide training and educational opportunities, and expand our state’s climate workforce opportunities.
The creation of the Washington Climate Corps Network acknowledges climate change as one of our state’s greatest challenges — and recognizes service projects as a powerful way to address it.
Goals
For our communities, our ecosystems, and our economies
House Bill 1176, signed into law by Governor Inslee on May 3, 2023, established the following goals for WCCN:
- Increase participation in addressing climate challenges in overburdened communities.
- Expand the diversity, awareness, and accessibility of climate service opportunities in Washington.
- Create a service-learning program for funded network partners and their members.
- Increase awareness of and access to clean energy and climate-related career opportunities and networks.
