The Fresno CCC has been operating in the San Joaquin Valley community since the early 1980s. It is currently housed near the Fresno-Yosemite International Airport.  A non-residential center, Fresno can employ up to 45 corpsmembers on 3 crews. Crews work four 10-hour days, Monday - Thursday. John Muir Charter School students attend school after work until 6:30pm.

Outstanding work performance and work ethic from corpsmembers and superior leadership by highly-qualified and experienced crew supervisors (all are former corpsmembers) keep our site in high demand by Valley sponsors. Southern CalEdison, CalTrans and State Parks are a few of our loyal sponsors who contract work year-round with the Fresno Satellite.

Fresno crews have rehabilitated trails, renovated campgrounds and removed detrimental vegetation for the San Joaquin River Conservancy, as well as Devil's Postpile National Monument, Yosemite National Forest, Sequoia and Shaver Lakes. Sequoia National Park contracted crews to help with the removal of illegal campsites as well as reconstruction of the parks natural contours.

The Fresno Satellite was selected to participate in the School Energy Efficiency Program funded through the CA Integrated Waste Management Board. Corpsmembers traveled to schools throughout the Valley and gave 85 presentations on energy efficiency.

Last year, Fresno crews performed a variety of services:

• responded to fire and flood emergencies
• installed or repaired 6,759 linear feet of irrigation
  
• installed or repaired 5 miles of fencing
• cleared or removed weeds from 32 square miles
• landscaped 63 acres
• received 1922 hours of work site instruction, safety meeting and conservation discussions
