OUR MOTTO:
"The most challenging job you will ever love."
"The most challenging job you will ever love."
John Muir Charter School at the Siskiyou CCC offers corpsmembers an educational program that makes a positive impact in the lives of our students, as well as the community.
Every student is an individual, and for this reason every student that
progresses through John Muir Charter School in Siskiyou County has a
tailored plan that meets their individual needs and career goals. For
example, some students plan to take full advantage of all of the
opportunities the CCC has to offer and therefore elect to gain credit
while they complete Super Grade requirements. Other students have
higher education goals and for this reason we assist them with preparing
for entrance exams and filling out financial aid materials. Still other
students are seeking to gain job skills for a specific career pathway
and so we seek to arrange internships allowing students to learn more
about their areas of interest. The support team at the Siskiyou
Satellite has decades of experience in developing career pathways and is
strongly dedicated to the progress of each and every student in gaining
the education they need to succeed.
The vocational training students can gain while working with the
California Conservation Corps is wide and varied. While working with
Crew 70, students learn the importance of basic job skills such as
showing up for work prepared, working as a team and how to utilize chain
of command. Students also learn many hands on skills related to fire
prevention, flood control, hazardous material removal as well as drivers
training, to name a few. Additional opportunities students can take
advantage of include applying to specialty programs such as Backcountry
Trails and international work and travel programs. There is also the
opportunity to transfer to Conservation Corps sites throughout
California. Students gain well-respected skills while working with the
California Conservation Corps and become useful employees to employers
like including the National Forest Service, Fish and Wildlife, Cal Trans
and many others. There is no better career building program available
for young people willing to work in our county.
