Green Collar Corps
Green Collar Corps Youth Employment Program
Program Overview
Our Green Collar Corps (GCC) program provides paid job training and part-time employment for youth and young adults (17-24 years old) in Richmond, San Pablo, and Oakland. The program’s goal is to support personal and professional growth for local young people, especially those who are underrepresented in the environmental field (such as Black, Indigenous, and other youth of color), and/or who cannot afford to take an unpaid internship opportunity. Created in 2009, our GCC program aims to employ 5-7 young adults annually, equipping them with the skills and experience they need to enter the competitive job market. Members work across all TWP’s program areas with introductions to diverse environmental careers and hands-on experiences, in addition to educational training, professional development, and team-building activities.
