The Orange County Conservation Corps is a 501(c)(3) founded in 1993 as part of the Anaheim anti-gang taskforce. The OCCC is a voluntary work/learn program that provides an opportunity for at-risk and disadvantaged youths, age 18 to 25, to earn a living while learning valuable employment skills through job training, and attend our on-site charter school to earn their high school diploma. Work projects are environmentally-based and benefit the community.
Sometimes called a "Second Chance at Success", the OCCC is for some a last chance to overcome poverty, avoid gangs, stay free of drug abuse, avert incarceration, and ultimately ensure a positive life for themselves as working, productive members of their community.
