California conservation corps

The California Conservation Corps (CCC) is a state-run organization that provides young adults aged 18-25 with opportunities to develop skills through outdoor environmental projects. Participants work on tasks like wildfire prevention, trail building, habitat restoration, and resource conservation, gaining experience while contributing to public lands and communities. The program promotes environmental stewardship, personal growth, and employment readiness, often offering education and training alongside service. Funded by the state and federal government, the CCC emphasizes teamwork, discipline, and environmental responsibility, helping participants build careers and foster a lifelong commitment to conservation.
