The Campus Climate Action Corps is the first nationwide AmeriCorps program solely dedicated to campus-based, community-led climate action. CCAC builds the capacity of campuses and their community partners to create change that leads to increased energy efficiency and improvements for at-risk ecosystems by implementing local solutions for underserved households and communities. Following a year-long planning process, Campus Compact was awarded a state-specific grant from Serve Connecticut to launch Campus Climate Action Corps Connecticut in September of 2024.
