Our Mission
Our Missiontitle
Sequoia Community Corps. seeks to strengthen youth, families and communities through education, employment training, youth development, mentoring, leadership building, job creation, environmental stewardship and other strategies that support self-reliant families and caring communities.
The teachers and staff at Sequoia Community Corps provide an engaging,
positive learning environment that far supersedes the traditional
setting students experienced during their time in conventional high
schools. JMCS instructors ensure that the classroom environment couples
hands-on vocational skills training with a unique learning environment,
ensuring that students receive real world skills that are immediately
applicable to their lives. In addition, classes are offered in small
group settings quite different from the large environment of traditional
public schools and an average staff to member ratio of 1:15 is
maintained. Students are taught to not just passively accept instruction
but to activate their learning potential and learn from one another.
Toward that end, instructors see themselves as guides, rather than
figures of authority, and provide the opportunity for students to
develop self-respect, respect for others, a strong work ethic and a
dedication to learning. This creates an atmosphere of mutual trust and
learning.
Sequoia Community Corps offers vocational training in construction
trades, solar, weatherization, urban forestry, recycling, electronic
waste collection, oil collection and recycling specialists. In addition,
students have the opportunity to earn Bobcat and forklift certificates,
OSHA 10-hour, first aid and CPR and PACT certificated. We also offer
scholarships to students wishing to pursue secondary education, advanced
vocational training and union apprenticeships. Upon graduation,
students enter the Corps to Career Program where they are prepared for
job interviews, learn to write resumes and gain the skills needed to
pursue employment after the Corps. This program also assists them with
job placement.
