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.

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!

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.

I’m all about connecting with like-minded individuals at Work on Climate who are taking conscious steps to protect our planet. As a UX designer stepping into climate tech, I’ve teamed up with energetic startup founders, experts, and volunteers to bring our ideas to life. Let’s make a change together!
