As part of the SCYEC, CCNB crews maintain miles of waterways, trails, and complete fire fuel reduction work on the County’s vulnerable public lands, including Spring Lake and Santa Rosa Creek. Our corpsmembers perform flood prevention and stream maintenance in these areas, preparing themselves for county careers in the environmental sector where they will be part of a trained workforce to continue this increasingly-important mitigation work.
Corpsmembers work in a six-month paid internship within the County in one of the following fields: Water Operations, Water Education, Water Environmental, Water Stream Maintenance, or Regional Parks. Many of our corpsmembers go on to be hired as seasonal or regular employees by the agency that they interned with immediately after completing CCNB's program, allowing newer corpsmembers to see possibilities are quite literally in their reach.
