Working Together
By partnering with the CCC, you can help make California an even better place for all!
There are many ways to partner with the California Conservation Corps. Local organizations and government agencies can mentor Corpsmembers, host interns, and work with CCC crews on projects and community events. When we work together, we all benefit!

Partnering with the California Conservation Corps is a win-win for everyone! Organizations can gain a crew of hardworking, reliable, young adults that are eager to complete meaningful projects.

- Conducts pre-enrollment background checks and drug tests for Corpsmembers
- Prepares Corpsmembers with comprehensive job training
- Equips Corpsmembers with necessary tools, gear, and safety equipment
- Facilitates transportation to projects, including hard-to-reach locations
