The California Conservation Corps (CCC) is the largest program of its kind in the country. Created in 1976, it's modeled after the 1930s Civilian Conservation Corps.

Each year the CCC hires 3,300 corps members between the ages of 18 and 25. They earn minimum wage. The main thing that attracted me to the CCC back in 1989 was a commercial that stated "Hard Work, Low Pay, Miserable Conditions and more"...at the time I was considering joining the military and this commercial changed me mind.

By the end of 2008 more than 100,000 young men and women have been a part of the CCC since 1976.

The CCC is one of California's premier emergency response forces In 2008, corps members devoted more than a half-million hours to fire response, and also fought floods and pest infestations.

The CCC has 27 locations throughout California to assist with natural resource work and emergency response.

The CCC is a cost-effective labor force, working for more than 250 local, state and federal agencies each year. Crews tackle more than 900 projects and generate more than $26 million annually for the CCC.

The Corps has provided more than 9.3 million hours of emergency response on nearly every major natural disaster since 1976. Crews can be dispatched within hours anywhere in the state.

Here are a few pictures I have found of my time in the CCC; I was stationed in the Lake Tahoe area.
