We're in Philadelphia today with PowerCorpsPHL, who has been selected for a $15 million @EPA grant to support their Reforestation Hub, where American Climate Corps members help the city meet its climate goals everyday⚡️
PowerCorpsPHL ensures members get training and certifications that will help them secure a high-quality job after their service. A highlight of the day was hearing from some amazing members about the impact this program has had in their lives💕
It was an honor to have @ClimateCorpsUS join us this week! Corps members are making a real impact in communities, tackling climate change and creating healthier environments! Check it out: https://t.co/uLDz9OIjBf #MIHealthyClimate
We got to check out a new rainwater garden, visit a community garden stewarded by ACC members and hear from members who are working on flood management and green infrastructure.
Thank you to our amazing members and programs in Michigan for hosting us and for all of your work!
Our team was on the ground in Michigan this week to learn about @MichiganEGLE's Healthy Climate Corps and the AmeriCorps Climate READY program.
We had a great time with ACC members who are focused on weatherizing buildings, siting solar energy and restoring brownfield sites⚡️

Meeting with members of the Ancestral Lands Conservation Corps this week was an inspiring reminder of the power of @POTUS’s American Climate Corps. These young people give me such hope for our future. https://t.co/kSTuRr6MHF
If you're in the path of Hurricane #Milton, please stay safe, keep your devices charged and follow guidance from local officials. Know that the Biden-Harris Administration is with you, and committed to a full recovery from Milton and #Helene
We had a great time visiting American Climate Corps sites in Minnesota this week⚡️
This tour stop was led by Minnesota’s GreenCorps, an ACC partner and amazing program focused on protecting MN's environment while training a new generation of climate and environmental leaders.
This morning, we joined @SPPS_News for National Bike, Walk and Roll to School Day🚶🏽♀️🧑🏿🦽🚴🏼♂️. We had so much fun helping students get to school, working in the school garden and learning more about low carbon transportation!
This National Public Lands Day, @POTUS’ American Climate Corps is stewarding the lands and waters we all love. Today, I joined Student Conservation Association volunteers at Fort Dupont Park in Washington, DC to pick up trash, enhance trails, and remove invasive plants.
At @USDOL, we are laser-focused on building good career pathways for young people.
The @ClimateCorpsUS helps achieve both our good jobs goals AND our climate goals. I was honored to swear in its newest members at the Oconaluftee @DOLJobCorps Civilian Conservation Center!
