SJCC&CS is providing much needed services to disadvantaged and highly at-risk young women & men. The Corps changes the lives of gang members, high school dropouts and unemployed youth. The City of San Jose is greatly helped by the services the Corps makes to its communities and citizens.

I am thrilled to have this child care site open in our district. San Jose Conservation Corps is a vital organization that provides a much needed service in our community.

Recycling is good business. San Jose Conservation Corps has provided assistance with HP Pavilion's recycling collection since 2007. We find the Corps leadership pro-active, attentive and responsive to our needs and the uniformed Corps members ready to serve. In partnership with SJCC, HP Pavilion has increased diversion of solid waste from landfill to 90+%.

SJCC&CS provides a second chance to high school dropouts with an academic and job training program that transforms their lives. These students earn their diploma and learn skills that enable them to survive in the workforce and become role-models for their family and friends. SJCC&CS is the only over 18-years old program of its type in the state.
