AmeriCorps members have been an essential part of Grassroots Ecology since 2012. AmeriCorps participants have the opportunity to explore a career in habitat restoration, gain experience engaging their local communities, and build connections within national and statewide program networks.
At Grassroots Ecology, AmeriCorps members are assigned to a field team along with 2-3 other staff, Corpsmembers, and/or interns. All Corpsmembers also spend one day per week working at our Native Plant Nursery. We partner with two AmeriCorps programs: the Watershed Stewards Program and California Climate Action Corps.
