The young women and men of the Corps work hard protecting and restoring California's environment and responding to disasters, becoming stronger workers, citizens and individuals through their service.
CCC MOTTO:
"Hard work, low pay, miserable conditions... and more!"
John Muir Charter School at the Fortuna CCC offers corpsmembers an educational program that makes a positive impact in the lives of our students, as well as the community.
|
Our goal is to provide high-quality, individualized and standards-based educational opportunities for all of our students, beginning with identified student strengths and moving towards addressing student growth areas.
We have a staff of three teachers, specializing in mathematics and special education, as well as two Americorps Youthserve mentors who complement our education program by providing our students with work-based instructional opportunities via spike visits, extra-curricular activities such as film and studio work at Access Humboldt Studios and trips to the Schatz Renewable Energy Lab at Humboldt State University.
|
Our special focus at the school is on creating and maintaining a green curriculum. To this end, we are implementing a PV solar grid network through a Bright Ideas PG&E Grant. We have a fully functioning organic garden under the direction of one of our teachers, and we are in the process of exploring and developing wind technology, based on the work of William Kamkwamba.
In addition to this special focus on green curricula, we have a music studio, men's basketball team and monthly art projects directed by our teachers and Americorps. We also participate annually in the Humboldt Bay Kinetic Sculpture Race.
