GIVE ABOUT PROGRAMS JOIN US MAKE A DIFFERENCE COVID-19 OUR MISSION is to provide at-risk young adults and school-aged youth with opportunities for success through job skills training, education and work experience with an emphasis on conservation and service projects that benefit the community. What We Do Our programs offer opportunity youth paid work experience on a variety of conservation projects as well as the chance to build valuable life skills and personal resilience in a supportive environment. Some of those projects include: building parks and community gardens, planting trees, refurbishing hiking trails, removing graffiti, and cleaning alleyways. Corpsmembers can earn a high school diploma through our affiliated charter school and the support services and case management they need to remove their barriers to success. Our goal is to give under-served young adults the chance for a meaningful, living-wage job with a career pathway or college or vocational school experience with future prospects for employment.
