The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) is accepting applications from organizations interested in hosting a Minnesota GreenCorps member for the 2023-2024 program year.
Members serve at organizations throughout the state, completing community-focused environmental projects while gaining experience and learning valuable job skills.
The MPCA plans to select up to 47 host site organizations to host a fulltime Minnesota GreenCorps member. Organizations eligible to host include government entities (local, regional, state, and tribal), school districts, public education institutions, and 501(c)(3) nonprofits. Host sites provide day-to-day supervision and support members on community-focused projects in one of the following four focus areas: air pollutant reduction, community readiness and outreach, green infrastructure improvements and forestry, or waste reduction, recycling, and organics management.
Operation of the 2023-2024 program year is contingent on receiving funds. Confirmation of funds may not be available prior to the application deadline.
Applications are due electronically by 5:00 p.m. Central Time on Tuesday, March 14, 2023 to mngreencorps.pca@state.mn.us.
