Our Mission
Our Missiontitle
To develop youth and conserve natural resources for a strong, sustainable community.
Our classrooms are small and effective. Students receive individualized
education that is specifically designed for them to reach their academic
goals. Our teachers create a family-like atmosphere and give students
the individual attention they need to thrive. We provide rigorous
instruction and align coursework with students’ college and career
interests. Our students are given the opportunity to fill-in the gaps
in their academic histories while receiving comprehensive instruction in
all core subject areas. We give students the opportunity to reconnect
with education, discover their passions and interests, and to become
life-long learners.
Conservation Corps North Bay provides vocational programs in Natural
Resources and Community Recycling. CCNB’s Natural Resources crews build
and maintain trails, restore habitats, clear fire breaks, prevent
floods, and inspire the next generation of land managers. Through an
intensive program that emphasizes safety, quality and professionalism,
corpsmembers undergo skills-focused instruction in forestry, carpentry,
landscaping, chainsaw use, and power and hand tool operation. CCNB’s
Community Recycling Program collects recyclables and provides recycling
education and outreach. Corpsmembers receive training to operate
forklifts, water filtration systems, and other large equipment in
accordance with safety standards. Corpsmembers interact with community
members at events and through direct outreach campaigns focused on the
proper recycling of e-waste, tires, and used oil. CCNB’s vocational
training programs are connected to the classroom through field-based
math and science projects and through weekly community meetings where
students use professional and career specific language to synthesize the
accomplishments of their vocational work.
