LA Conservation Corps

In this week's Corps Connections a guest author from our Equity Team shares an update on how we have been creating space for discussions of diversity, equity, and inclusion at the Corps and how it is a work in progress. Read it here: https://www.lacorps.org/living-our-values/

"The backbone of the project..." Yep, that's how we feel about our Corpsmembers, too. Thanks @goodshade_la @TreePledge @lacountyparks @CAL_FIRE @CalReLeaf for including us http://ow.ly/LwHX50DCYmC

If we want LA to be more pedestrian friendly, then we have to keep the sidewalks #cleanandgreen. Crews are creating safe, healthy walkways all over the city #beforeandafter #lacorpspower #transformationtuesday

Who is ready for a new week?! It's bittersweet to say goodbye to a Corpsmember, but we are all about giving young people the tools for their next step. Give Alex a as we wish him good luck!

It's a beautiful day today but for the Corps, a day at the beach looks a little different... like installing temporary fencing to protect the restoration area at Point Dume and creating a safe walking path for beach goers.
