Corpsmembers from the California Conservation Corps joined with members of California's 14 local conservation corps programs this week at the State Capitol. It was the annual Government Education Day, and some 100 young people from throughout the state were on hand.
After a Capitol tour, the corpsmembers had a chance to visit their legislators -- visiting 80 percent of the 120 legislative offices. They also made stops at the Governor's Office and the Natural Resources Agency. Natural Resources Secretary John Laird was among those talking with the corpsmembers about their work, career plans and reasons for joining the CCC.
The day concluded with a state budget exercise. Corpsmembers defended their budget plans in an actual legislative hearing room, making persuasive cases for their proposals.
The CCC participants attended the Government Education Day as part of the annual Corpsmember Advisory Board conference.
