The LA Conservation Corps manages programs out of eight offices around the Greater Los Angeles area. Our administrative headquarters are located in the John Van de Kamp Center in Northeast Los Angeles. Our flagship site in South LA, the Russell Kantor Center, has supported Corpsmembers for nearly 40 years. Aside from the After School Program offices, each of our offices manages Corpsmember programming and community conservation and service projects.
