50 YEARS OF SERVICE
A Legacy That Lasts
For 50 years, the California Conservation Corps has empowered young adults to make a lasting difference. Since 1976, hundreds of thousands of Corpsmembers 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.
This 50th anniversary is a celebration of the people, places, and partnerships that have shaped the CCC and the generations of Corpsmembers who continue to serve California. It’s a moment to honor our shared history and to recognize the enduring impact of the Corps on our state’s communities, environment, and economy.
As we look to the next 50 years, we remain committed to supporting Corpsmembers with the resources, opportunities, and programs they need to build successful careers and create stronger, more resilient communities across California.

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.
