The Office of Communications coordinates media and public outreach; develops and disseminates public information via news releases, media advisories, and website and social media postings; arranges media interviews; and is responsible for the CCC brand and marketing.
California Conservation Corpsmembers are assisting fire operations at four fire basecamps across the state following early October wildfires.
Scholarship money brought Imani Naylor into the CCC, but the work with salmon restoration projects is what's kept her in the program. Imani says she's proof that if she can join the CCC and succeed, everyone else in the East Bay can do so too.
Energy Corpsmembers work in schools and courthouses retrofitting lights to save on money and brighten classrooms and offices. Corpsmembers know a year in the CCC can help lead to a great paying job in the energy field.
Enrolling in the CCC won't transform you over night, but it helps you become a better you. It's what Teddy Cowan experienced at the Shasta Cascade Center in Redding, where he now sees every day as a chance to improve himself.
Each year in late summer, Corpsmembers at the Ukiah Center head deep into the local Mendocino County forests to help improve the numbers of Coho Salmon. Using grip hoists, drills, metal bolts and plates, Corpsmembers anchor logs into creek beds to create resting places during the salmon's spawning season in the winter.
