About the Project

The SCA Urban Green: Conservation Stewardship and Education will recruit, hire and train high-school-age youth and young adults to serve under the umbrella of the Bay Area Climate Resilience Corps, currently in its third year. A summer youth crew and two school year interns will conduct conservation resiliency projects, participate in paid training and education, have opportunities for recreation, engage community in volunteer events, and share their experiences through social media.  Through this holistic approach, the project will support equity priority communities and lands in Santa Clara County in building resilience to climate challenges while fostering an inclusive conservation workforce.
