Today is the final day for the CA Legislature to introduce bills for consideration this year. We’re grateful to see AB/SB 105, which puts Prop 4 dollars to work. Thank you legislators, for prioritizing investments in CA’s future. These funds are essential to youth development, environmental restoration, and climate resilience. But we can’t stop here. We still have not seen a bill to reauthorize Cap-and-Trade. This critical program provides long-term funding that supports the work of the Local Conservation Corps, from wildfire prevention to recycling to creating real career pathways for underserved youth. For our corpsmembers, Cap-and-Trade isn’t just climate policy. It’s jobs, training, and hope. With only hours left, we urge you - @CAgovernor @ilike_mike & @CASpeakerRivas - to act. Put a Cap-and-Trade Reauthorization bill in print TODAY. #CALeg #CapAndTrade #ClimateAction #YouthJobs #Prop4 #CALCC #ConservationCorps

On Earth Day, I visited current @LACorps members in Reseda to learn about the work they are doing across the L.A. area to make our communities more environmentally sustainable. As a proud alumna, I also shared how the Corps impacted my life as well as advice on how to make the most of their time as a Corpsmember. Thanks for having me back!

Our monthly cohort graduations are where we recognize Corpsmembers who have successfully completed their first month of the program. Staff who have gone through the program pass on advice, Corpsmembers reflect on their service to the community, and we all leave feeling inspired.
