Our MissionTop of Page
The mission of the Orange County Conservation Corps is to provide an opportunity for "at risk" youth to:
  • learn work skills
  • develop a work ethic
  • develop a sense of community responsibility
  • further their formal education
  • develop leadership skills
  • achieve a self-esteem necessary to enter the workforce.
The OCCC's approach to employability teaches teamwork and cooperation by using work projects that are beneficial to the community and the environment and by creating an atmosphere where corpsmembers have a chance to develop on an educational, professional and personal level.
Field WorkTop of Page

Corpsmembers at the Orange County Conservation Corps clock in by 6:45 a.m. to go to work. They work at a variety of jobs, including:

  • recycling
  • park restoration and maintenance
  • low-income housing renovations
  • construction
  • graffiti removal

They all put in a hard day's work in the Southern California sunshine before returning to the site for education.
Classroom EducationTop of Page

Once back at the office, the corpsmembers go to their assigned classes. Jarom teaches Civics, Economics, and Life Skills, Laura teaches Basic Math and CAHSEE Math Prep, Aja teaches English and CAHSEE ELA Prep, and Ernie teaches Algebra, CAHSEE Math Prep, and Life Skills.

Every classroom has at least three computers where students can work on their computer competencies, TABE, My Skills Tutor, and extra-credit assignments.  After work, our students are in class for an hour and a half (1.5) per day Monday through Thursday and four (4.0) hours on Friday.

At the Orange County Conservation Corps, we are committed to helping our students progress through our program with the maximum amount of success. We recognize that the needs of the students vary and we strive to meet their individual needs and help them reach their goals.
