I am really grateful to all the people I met through WoCl who gave advice and support along the way [towards finding my climate job], as well as the organizing team for creating and sustaining this community! WoCl is the first place I point anyone new who tells me they’re interested in working on climate. The resources are invaluable, but even more so are the energy & optimism in feeling like part of a community all aligned toward the same mission. 💚 Thank you!

Joining this Slack community was SUCH an unlock for me - folks here have been incredibly generous with their time in chatting with me, passing my resume forward, and introducing me to their networks. It was incredibly heartwarming and the words of encouragement certainly kept me going. Over the past 3 months, I’ve spoken to ~60 people, and 95%+ of them were through this community. Suffice to say, this Slack group changed my life.

This community has been an incredible place to share the job search with, and it made what can be a very alienating process feel like a team game. Shout out to my friend who turned me on to WoCl -- literally changed my life - I'm still gonna hang around in this slack as a cheerleader/resume feedbacker and would love to connect with folks interested in chatting about sustainable farming incentives and underserved farms' access to finance.

My initial goal in joining WoCl was to gain more familiarity with the problems underlying climate change, as well as the proposed solutions. I found the Community Events and the Office Hours invaluable in accomplishing this goal.

The Work on Climate community is a pretty special place, where I was able to learn aggressively about the climate crisis & climate tech, and also find so many different people sharing my interest in the challenge we need to solve. On top of this, I also got to know the amazing team at Reflective Earth in the community, with whom I partnered for 9 months as a Product Manager, enabling me to get a first taste of the space through a pro bono opportunity.

Work on Climate deserves all the credit to connecting Rich (co-founder) and I to build a new startup focused on soil health and regenerative ag using automation/robotics. Learning from a community with like-minded mission has been amazing.
