The UC Davis Tahoe Environmental Research Center (TERC) announced a significant milestone in its collaboration with the Sierra Nevada Alliance AmeriCorps Partnership program: the arrival of its 50th AmeriCorps member. This achievement underscores the ongoing commitment of UC Davis TERC and the Sierra Nevada Alliance Program to fostering workforce development, environmental stewardship, education, and conservation in the Tahoe Basin and beyond.
The AmeriCorps program, often called the “domestic Peace Corps,” was created in 1993 and is a national service initiative that provides individuals with opportunities to tackle critical community needs. Through the Sierra Nevada Alliance Program, UC Davis TERC has partnered with AmeriCorps to recruit passionate, talented young professionals from all over the country who are eager to make a tangible difference in conservation and environmental education. Together, these organizations are building a workforce development pipeline that empowers young people to embark on meaningful careers in conservation and stewardship.
