UrbanCorpsSD

Urban Corps serves as a bridge to a better life for young adults ages 18-26. We provide paid job training, life skills, career services, and a second chance to earn a high school diploma. Youth gain job skills on environmental and community projects. The majority of youth employed at Urban Corps did not succeed in a traditional high school setting and they have little or no job training. At Urban Corps they get a second chance to go back to school and develop new skills, while contributing to the overall quality of life in the San Diego area. Their participation increases the connection these young people feel to their community, their environment, and to their own futures.Whether planting a tree, removing graffiti, working in the San Diego River, improving a park, or rehabilitating low-income homes, our Corpsmembers improve themselves while improving the San Diego region.
