Local Community
Conservation Corps
The Local Community
Conservation Corps (LCCCs) are different
from the state-managed California
Conservation Corps (CCC). They are
non-profit charitable organizations
governed by volunteer Boards of
Directors, whose primary goal is: to
provide youth between the ages of 18 and
23 with a one-year non-residential
program that emphasizes work; education;
skill building; and, community service.
The most important
thing the LCCCs do is to develop the
leader in everyone.
Through funding from the Department and
various city, county and private
organizations, the LCCCs create jobs and
educational opportunities for over 2,000
California young women and men, and
provide a solid foundation for public
service through hundreds of community
service projects.
The corps initiates
innovative recycling programs through
partnerships forged with a variety of
schools, public agencies and local
organizations. These partnerships
complement existing services, further
state and county waste studies and help
establish conservation goals.
Corpsmembers provide
volunteer services and assist in
reducing waste going to landfills, they
educate the public about recycling (why,
how and where), they improve the
environment, and they beautify and
promote safe communities.
