CLEAN & GREEN

Created in 1988 for off-track middle and high school students, Clean & Green is one of the LA Conservation Corps’ oldest ongoing youth and workforce development programs.

Each year, the program provides approximately 500 middle school and high school youth the opportunity to gain environmental work experience. During eight-week work sessions, crews of young people remove trash from neglected streets and alleys, remove graffiti and plant trees to beautify communities. In addition to this work, the LA Conservation Corps has partnered with the Bureau of Sanitation in order to be proactive about the state of some of the alleyways within Los Angeles, specifically in South Los Angeles, and Council District 1. LA Conservation Corps and its crews, regularly remove overgrown vegetation, garbage, and bulky items that are often dumped within these alleys. Crew supervisors strive to cultivate a positive work ethic in the youth that trains them to be responsible and dedicated workers, as they mentor them to help them to see the value of staying in school, preparing for college and giving back to their communities.
