CivicSpark 2024-25 Fellowship

CivicSpark is an award-winning and evidence-based AmeriCorps program in which Fellows focus on planning and policy support to build local government and community capacity to address resilience challenges and create lasting impact in communities across the United States. For 11 months, Fellows are placed with local governments to complete research, planning, or implementation projects that provide the support public agencies need to advance their resilience initiatives. CivicSpark projects focus on supporting capacity in environmental and social equity resilience issues. Environmental projects focus on addressing widespread, persistent environmental crises by facilitating effective solutions in areas such as energy efficiency, climate adaptation and mitigation, green infrastructure, and groundwater management. Social Equity projects focus on opportunities to relieve significant socioeconomic pressures that impact the quality of life, public health, or economic opportunity in areas such as multi-modal transportation, affordable housing, and broadband access. Fellows are spread regionally throughout various states. Each region has a Regional Coordinator who oversees the various Fellows in their area, providing guidance, mentorship, and support for the Fellows’ professional development goals. Site Supervisors are the Fellows’ on-site contacts, who work with Fellows on a day-to-day basis, assist in project work, and support the Fellows’ professional growth in the workplace.
