The Orange County Conservation Corps pays young adults to restore Orange County, and puts a diploma and a career on the other side of it. More than 8,000 young people have come through since we opened.
The Orange County Conservation Corps pays young adults to restore Orange County, and gives them the schooling, training and support to leave with a career.
An Orange County where any young adult who wants a career has a paid path into one, and the land is looked after by the people who live here.
Conservation is the cause we invite them into, not the other way around. Where the two ever pull against each other, the young person wins.
A real paycheck from the first week. Not a stipend, not a favor. Corpsmembers logged 117,077 paid hours last year.
A high school diploma and certifications that move a wage, earned while the work is happening. Nobody should have to choose between a paycheck and school.
Real crews on real projects, on public land people actually use. The county is better for it, and so is the resume.
Every annual report and financial statement we publish sits on the reports page, open to anyone, no request needed. The Orange County Conservation Corps is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, EIN 33-0563781.
