Smith's journey to climate advocacy began in social justice. Prior to joining AmeriCorps, as an Atlantic Fellow for Racial Equity, he saw how “low income communities, communities of color, were bearing the brunt of climate change.” This experience now informs his leadership at AmeriCorps, where he has focused on ensuring volunteers receive higher living allowances so that people from all backgrounds can participate.
