Civicorps

Civicorps is a conservation corps organization in Oakland, CA, which runs a charter school as well as social enterprises to train and employ opportunity youth. One of their social enterprises is a recycling collection social enterprise, where they provide apprenticeships for youth. These apprenticeships have the potential to lead to union positions.
