Celebrating Earth Day 2024

Happy Earth Day from all of us at Farallon Strategies!
earth day 2024

Today, President Biden announced the launch of ClimateCorps.gov, a pivotal resource offering nearly 2,000 positions across 36 states, Washington D.C., and Puerto Rico. In addition to announcing the launch of a one-stop-shop to connect interested individuals with opportunities, the President also announced a new Energy Communities AmeriCorps program; $7 billion through the EPA’s Solar for All program; new state climate corps programs launching in Vermont, New Mexico, and Illinois; and updated benefits for American Climate Corps members, including access to new climate corps pre-apprenticeship curriculum and streamlined federal hiring pathways.

For over a decade, our team has been at the forefront of developing impactful climate-focused fellowship and AmeriCorps programs across the United States. Whether through our historical work developing and leading robust climate and community resilience initiatives, such as the award-winning national CivicSpark program, or our more recent support for the launch of three state climate corps initiatives in Washington, Michigan, and North Carolina, our team at Farallon Strategies has seen firsthand the transformative power of national service in tackling climate change. We are particularly proud of our collaboration with America’s Service Commission to create a “State Climate Corps Resource Hub” that serves as the only comprehensive platform supporting the growth of state-level climate corps programs, echoing today’s federal push towards a sustainable future.

In addition to our national service work, as a Certified B Corporation, California Certified Small Business, and 1% for the Planet Business Corporation, the Farallon Strategies Team is honored to continue to elevate the work of community-based organizations and other nonprofit organizations focused on climate resilience and environmental and social justice. We just celebrated our first anniversary as a 1% for the Planet Business, donating 1% of our annual revenue to our environmental partners, including Climate Resolve and the Bay Area Climate Adaptation Network. Over the last year, we also recommended 11 organizations as new 1% environmental partners. Our second anniversary of becoming a B Corp, our ‘B’ Day, will be in August this year and we are looking forward to the rollout of the new B Corp standards.

This Earth Day, we encourage you all to explore the organizations that are members of 1% for the Planet and B Corp communities when making decisions for partners and suppliers. 

This year, our work continues to support capacity building, national service as a solution for climate and workforce development, and equitable climate resilience for our communities.

Reach out to us to explore collaboration opportunities for a better tomorrow.
