In its first year, the American Climate Corps will put more than 20,000 young people on career pathways in the growing fields of clean energy, conservation and climate resilience.
- Curtis Shuck, Founder and Sebastian Ng: Curtis E. Shuck, Jr. is the Founder and Chairman of the Well Done Foundation.

Sebastian Ng is a high school senior from Cary NC. He helped start the Youth Climate Initiative (YCI) alongside his friends Mateo and Lila who are working with Well Done on well capping. Outside of YCI, he plays soccer for his high school's varsity team, and on a club team.
