Urban Corps

Urban Corps is a locally-based nonprofit that provides a high school education and green job training to young adults. The majority of youth employed at Urban Corps did not succeed in a traditional high school setting and we help them get a second chance to go back to school and develop new skills, while contributing to the overall quality of life in the San Diego area. We provide job training and community service in the fields of conservation and recycling, which will assist youth in becoming more employable while protecting San Diego’s natural resources.
