Trenton Climate Corps
 
 
 
Trenton Climate Corps is a program for training participants in climate resilience and green infrastructure skills with the goal of creating a network of environmental stewards with the skills to improve Trenton for current and future generations. The projects for the service term require the ability to work independently, problem solve and evaluate situations and adjust accordingly. Projects outside require physical labor and are related to urban agriculture, community forestry, and stormwater management. Successful candidates will have the chance to complete certifications, have access to Isles financial and personal development programs, and learn different skills in the many sustainability related fields. With support from Climate Corps staff, the positions support the larger Climate Corps crew. We seek a collaborative and supportive candidate who has a proven track record of working with and motivating urban youth, and who is well connected in the Trenton community. Qualified candidates will have the opportunity to join a dynamic and highly accomplished team at one of the most innovative and successful nonprofit organizations in the region. The position requires strong organizational and leadership skills, and exceptional skill at motivating others. We tackle environmental hazards, support community and school gardens, create safe, thriving spaces to reduce violence, and pilot clean energy projects.
