Every corpsmember journey is different and filled with challenges, growth, and transformation. Get an inside look at the unique journey corpsmembers experience at the Corps!
The Corpsmember Journey at the San Jose Conservation Corps + Charter School is more than just a year-long program, it’s an opportunity for exploration, growth, and discovery. From the first week of orientation, corpsmembers are introduced to a variety of trainings, workshops, and daily tasks that help them learn new skills and explore potential career paths.
For many young adults, the corps is a place to make connections and gain hands-on experience in fields they might not have considered before. Corpsmembers earn industry-recognized certifications, participate in career readiness workshops, and gain valuable skills that extend far beyond their time at the corps.
The job training program isn’t just about work, it’s about growth, accountability, and self-discovery. Corpsmembers reflect on their goals, develop professionally, and build confidence while contributing to our communities. From beautifying local parks to working alongside peers and supervisors, each experience helps prepare corpsmembers for future opportunities.
Whether it’s pursuing further education, earning professional certifications, or landing seasonal and permanent positions, the skills and relationships built during their journey continue to open doors long after their time at the corps ends.
