Tribal Corps_
Supporting native tribes and youth!
Through Nature-Based Solutions funding, the CCC supports native California tribes and their youth with Tribal Corps programs.
The Tribal Nature-Based Solutions Conservation Corps Grant Program awarded five California Native American tribes funding to establish and maintain tribal youth conservation corps programs across California.
The Tribal Youth Nature-Based Solutions Conservation Corps (Tribal Corps) offers educational and career pathways for tribal youth and young adults while preserving and protecting ancestral lands. For more information, any tribe interested in pursuing the creation of its own Tribal Corps, or partnering with the CCC, please contact tribalcorps@ccc.ca.gov.
