The Civilian Climate Corps for Jobs and Justice Act establishes a new federal program to address climate change while creating employment opportunities, particularly for workers from underserved communities. The program creates two operational components: a national climate service program and a grant program that recruit participants aged 17 and older (regardless of immigration status) for 9-12 month service periods working on climate, clean energy, and environmental projects such as building retrofits, renewable energy installation, and ecosystem restoration. Participants receive a minimum living allowance of $20 per hour, health insurance, childcare assistance, and up to $25,000 per service term for education or student loan repayment, with full labor rights including unionization and strike protections. The bill requires that at least 50 percent of resources support underserved communities and mandates prevailing wages, union-friendly policies, and coordination with tribal nations and local entities. The program is designed to scale from 50,000 positions in 2027 to 400,000 by 2031 in the national service program, with educational benefits excluded from participants' taxable income.
