Conservation Corps
I would like to commend the Los Angeles Conservation Corps (LACC) for its positive efforts in responding to the devastation following the riots in Los Angeles.
The LACC, an independent nonprofit organization, provides job training and educational opportunities to nearly 100 youth and young adults, allowing them to put these newly acquired skills to work in their communities. The LACC is currently in the process of coordinating recycling efforts and renovating day-care centers and recreation centers.
The Los Angeles Conservation Corps program fosters self-esteem and maturity, and encourages responsible citizenship. It allows youth and opportunity to rebuild and beautify their own community, instilling a feeling of pride and accomplishment.
