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.

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.

Shasta Cascade Corpsmembers are making the Madora Lake trail in Plumas County more accessible. The years-long project requires lots of rock work, including shaping, chiseling, and smashing rocks to build up the trail.

Norwalk Energy Corpsmembers work in tight conditions, going up and down ladders, and figuring out complex wiring and technical setups. They can retrofit thousands of fixtures on projects, like they recently did at the Pomona Courthouse.
