 Established in 1987, the Conservation Corps of Long Beach is a nonprofit charitable organization governed by volunteer Board of Directors. The organization currently offers two programs that focus on developing the untapped resource of youth leadership:

• A one-year, non-residential job readiness program for young adults (18-23 years) that emphasizes education, work, skill building and community service to help them uncover their position as essential and contributive members of society.

This program has three major components: 1. Education, which includes the operation of a satellite charter high school and post high school education courses; 2. Job readiness skills and training in the areas of recycling, conservation, landscaping and maintenance; and 3. Corps To Career program, which prepares young adults for the work world and continues to provide services to them for two years after they have successfully completed the program.

• After School Enrichment Program offering an academic enrichment program three hours a day, five days a week to over 1500 Long Beach students.
