The CA-CESU is excited to announce that the California Conservation Corps (CCC) recently joined our network as a new partner.
The California Conservation Corps is a state agency, certified by The Corps Network, enrolling young adults for a year of natural resource work and emergency response. The CCC is also the largest and oldest conservation corps in the nation. Simply stated, the CCC puts youth and the environment together to benefit both. The young adults of the CCC work hard protecting and restoring California’s environment, responding to disasters, becoming stronger workers, citizens, and individuals through their service.
A unique statewide program of the CCC that focuses on watersheds and fisheries, The Watershed Stewards Program in partnership with AmeriCorps (WSP), places Corpsmembers to serve alongside environmental professionals at organizations and agencies to provide resource managers and environmental leaders with high-quality scientific research and field data support. Through this work, WSP has placed Corpsmembers to serve with the National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management, US Fish & Wildlife, and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Looking forward, CCC partnerships and projects like these will be a valuable addition to the CA-CESU network.
