San Francisco Conservation Corps

The San Francisco Conservation Corps (SFCC) provides paid work experience, educational attainment, career readiness services, and barrier remediation for transitional-aged youth ages 18-26. The Corpsmembers work in programs that focus on recycling and sustainability, habitat restoration, climate resilience, zero waste facilitation, horticulture, landscaping, urban farming, public lands improvements, and more. The program provides participants with opportunities to improve academic skills & abilities, job readiness, and prepare for higher education, career development and employment. SFCC has an on-site campus at the John Muir Charter School, allowing Corpsmembers who have not yearned their diploma to work towards completing that goal while participating in paid hands-on job training. For participants that already have their high school diploma, we provide additional educational and vocational training opportunities.

• Corpsmembers are paid $19.50 per hour 

• 30-40 hours per week 

• Career Development Services 

• Training and Certification Opportunities and Courses 

• A number of supportive services such as housing, transportation and more 

SFCC applications are always open, and orientations to join the program take place twice a month.
