Michigan's AmeriCorps Site Supervisor of the Month
Site Supervisor of the Month – October 2025: Maggie Halpern, Ann Arbor Climate Corps
Maggie Halpern is the Program Director of the Ann Arbor Climate Corps (A2CC) and serves as the Site Supervisor for the members who serve there. The Ann Arbor Climate Corps supports Ann Arbor's A2Zero plan, aiming for carbon neutrality by 2030. Starting in October 2023, ten AmeriCorps members began serving with A2RC to focus on energy efficiency, waste reduction, and climate climate, particularly in Environmental Justice communities. Member activities enhance neighborhood-focused decarbonization, education, sustainable practices, and public land stewardship
In addition to her role overseeing the AmeriCorps program, Halpern is the Engagement Coordinator for the City of Ann Arbor. A graduate of the University of the South, Halpern furthered her education by earning a Master of Science from the University of Michigan, equipping her with a strong foundation in sustainability and community engagement.
At the City of Ann Arbor’s Office of Sustainability and Innovations (OSI), Halpern leads AmeriCorps members in public outreach efforts. Her leadership is characterized by a deep understanding of the AmeriCorps mission and a strong commitment to fostering a sense of community among both the program’s members and the broader Ann Arbor community.
According to current member, Sydney Deal, “Maggie has been an advocate for A2RC members, many of whom are early career professionals,” Deal continues, “Since sustainability is such a varied field, Maggie has also been very supportive of members specializing in projects that further their own professional development.” Halpern’s dedication to empowering others and her innovative approach to sustainability make her a vital asset to the Ann Arbor community.
