CivicSpark is a Governor’s Initiative AmeriCorps program dedicated to building capacity for local governments to address climate change, water, and land-use needs. During the 11-month service year, CivicSpark fellows will support the State’s response to climate change and integrated water management by working with local governments to complete research, planning, or implementation projects. At the same time, fellows receive substantial professional development training and access to a network of local, regional, and state sustainability leaders.
