The SEEDS Youth Conservation Corps empowers youth 16-24 through service learning projects and the development of green collar job skills. This team-based training program is modeled after the Civilian Conservation Corps of the 1930s New Deal. Youth Corps supervisors are trained to incorporate life-skills and academics into the workday. Members of SEEDS Youth Corps must demonstrate good attendance and discipline in school and on the job. In return, they are offered on-the-job training in green collar industries and benefits associated with the national Corps Network.
