Who We Are.

The Conservation Corps of Long Beach is a 12-Month Job Training Program for Youth Ages 18-26.

Phase 1.

Our program has three phases. In the first, Corpsmembers get on the job training and have access to skill building opportunities. If an individual doesn’t yet have a High School Diploma, they’ll also be enrolled in school. In addition to paid work experience, Corpsmembers receive:

  • Support Service Referral

  • Resume Building Assistance

  • Financial Literacy Training

  • Hand Tool, Safety, and Recycling Training

Phase 2.

By month 3, Corpsmembers are ready for some additional skill-building. They’ll start with these required trainings, then have access to a variety of advanced trainings that align with their personal goals.

  • Forklift Training

  • Mock Interview Groups

  • Digital Job Skills Workshop

  • Intro to Chainsaw Training

At this point, Corpsmembers are eligible to get promoted or specialize in an area of interest. To view our promotional structure, click here. Note that Corpsmembers who get promoted earn extra time at the Corps.

Phase 3.

From here, Corpsmembers continue with trainings, get promoted, set personal goals, and pursue scholarships. When it’s time to begin transitioning from the Corps, Corpsmembers are in Phase 3 . We’re here to assist Corpsmembers through:

  • Resume Reviews

  • Employer Connections

  • Supervised Job Searches

  • Scholarship Opportunities
