Major focus of effort in the next month
My contract concludes on March 11, so the focus of effort will transfer to whomever is chosen as the Climate Corps Coordinator. This person should continue outreach to Maine’s tribal communities, further develop a cohesive training curriculum for the Climate Corps, and continue development of programs in collaboration with organizations interested in being the administrative organization or host for Climate Corps.
