​EDUCATIONAL SERVICES
SGVCC provides educational opportunities for students and Corpsmembers to earn a High School Diploma through our partnership with YouthBuild Charter School of California (YBSC). We nurture students’ aspirations and provide the opportunity for post-secondary education.
ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICE
We train Corpsmembers to protect and maintain the urban environment throughout the San Gabriel Valley. Participants learn about conservation and preservation, including restoration of watersheds, parks, open spaces, natural habitats, and ecosystems.
VOLUNTEERING
SGVCC offers our students, corpsmembers, and community members opportunities to volunteer in a variety of areas. Volunteers are vital to the ongoing operation of EarthWorks Community Farm. We welcome all ages and skill levels to come by and lend a hand.
ADVOCACY
SGVCC has given thousands of underserved, low-income young adults the opportunity to improve themselves while improving their own community. While at the SGVCC, Corpsmembers are paired up with mentors that serve as advocates that help guide and navigate through life's challenges.
SUPPORT
We also provide service-learning opportunities as well as teach work ethic, teamwork, and essential life skills, through mentoring and leadership training.
We encourage healthy life choices through positive role-modeling and a variety of personal development education, including conflict resolution, substance abuse prevention, and responsible driving education. Lastly, we promote economic self-sufficiency through career assessment, employment development, and job placement and follow-up services.
