Corps to Career

Responding to the Call to Action in the Governor’s Executive Order and the White House's creation of an American Climate Corps, we have created opportunities to connect people to service opportunities, jobs and careers. Corps to Career, an initiative of California Volunteers and the Office of the Governor, supports California Volunteers Service Program Alumni with accessing careers with upward mobility. We aim to create a pathway that will empower a diverse, connected workforce to address societal challenges starting in Los Angeles, with the potential to scale across California and the nation.
