Position Overview
The Los Angeles Community College District (LACCD), the largest community college district in California with nearly 205,000 students across nine campuses, adopted a Clean Energy and Sustainability Resolution on July 8, 2020. This resolution aims to achieve 100% renewable, carbon-free electricity by 2030 and carbon-free energy for all uses by 2040. It also addresses zero waste, carbon emission tracking, and stormwater retention. By fall 2024, LACCD will start developing its District-wide Roadmap to Sustainability and Climate Action with a planning firm’s help.
To support these goals, LACCD seeks a Climate Corps fellow to assist with utility tracking, develop the District’s SIMAP Greenhouse Gas Inventory, and begin planning for the STARS assessment tool by AASHE. The fellow will collaborate with District stakeholders and the planning firm to tackle sustainability challenges and educate stakeholders on sustainability strategies, under the guidance of the Sustainability & Utility Program Manager.
