Sacramento, Calif.
California is in the grip of a record-breaking drought, leaving many in the Golden State wondering how to deal with climate change.
Kate Meis is coming up with answers, one community at a time. She started CivicSpark, a program that places AmeriCorps members with local governments throughout the state to work on energy projects.
