A Milestone Worth Celebrating
For 50 years, the California Conservation Corps has transformed lives through service. Since 1976, hundreds of thousands of young adults and military veterans have strengthened California's communities and natural resources through conservation projects, disaster response, wildfire support, trail construction, watershed restoration, and other vital public service work.
Join the California Conservation Corps Foundation on October 28 at Whittier Narrows Recreation Area as we celebrate this milestone anniversary alongside corpsmembers, alumni, staff, partners, and supporters from throughout Southern California.
We are honored to welcome former Governor Gray Davis as a special guest as we recognize the CCC's enduring impact on California and look ahead to the next 50 years of service and opportunity.
Your support helps ensure that future corpsmembers continue to gain the skills, education, certifications, and life-changing experiences that prepare them for careers in conservation, public service, emergency response, and the skilled trades.
Invest in the
Next 50 Years
As California faces severe storms, flooding, wildfires, and other challenges, your support helps prepare Corpsmembers to protect communities, strengthen resilience, and carry the CCC’s legacy of service into the next 50 years. Become a sponsor and help us celebrate the people who serve California while investing in the next generation of conservation leaders, skilled workers, and emergency responders.

For California. For Good.
SUPPORT OUR MISSION
The CCC Foundation exists to ensure that when public funding is cut, delayed, or insufficient, the work does not stop and the young people doing it are not abandoned. We are raising money to grow the Foundation's operating reserve, so that when the next budget crisis comes, private philanthropy can step in without hesitation.
This is the Built to Last campaign. We are building the private philanthropic foundation the CCC has never fully had, and now urgently needs.
Your gift, at any level, is an investment in the next 50 years.
