Why We Exist
Founded by Bob Carnevale, the Climate Placement Project was born out of a deep commitment to addressing climate change - not by talking about it, but by placing people where they can make a difference. After researching climate-related organizations, Bob saw a gap: no one was focusing on guiding people into climate careers, education, or activism. So he launched this nonprofit to do exactly that - connect everyday people with real opportunities to create change.
What Makes Us Different
Unlike other climate organizations, we don’t just talk about the problem—we help you take action. Our focus is on placement: matching people with climate organizations, educational programs, and career opportunities. We make it simple to turn concern into impact.
We are passionate advocates for environmental awareness and moral sustainability. Our mission is to empower individuals and community to make positive changes for our planet.
