The Orange County Conservation Corps serves young, at-risk adults
through employment, training and educational programs that build self-
sufficiency and benefit the community through conservation-related projects.
The Corps serves out-of-school youth, 18-25, through a mandated three-part
program of work, education and community service, including academic
development, life skills and job-specific training. Work projects are
environmentally-based and benefit the community. For some, the OCCC is
a last chance to avoid gangs, stay free of drug abuse, avert incarceration,
and ultimately ensure a positive life for themselves as working, productive
members of their community.
