The California Conservation Corps is a work ethic program with a dual mission: the employment and development of young people, and the conservation and enhancement of the state's natural resources. The On-Site Counseling Program is a component of a comprehensive Corpsmember development program which includes programs in work learn, literacy, career development, conservation awareness, community activism and basic education. The On-Site Counseling program began in May of 1990. These counseling services are an effort to assist Corpsmembers, who are age 18-25, in exploring how they can contribute to their personal development. In coordination with the service district Corpsmember Development staff (CD), the counselor provides counseling to Corpsmembers. Growing from that core element, the on-site counselor provides an expanded array of services such as: individual and group counseling, support groups, education and personal development classes/workshops (such as sexual assault prevention), peer leadership development, peer counseling, staff consultation and training, identifying and engaging Corpsmembers into the counseling program and referral to community services. In other words, the on-site counselor will work in conjunction with the CD and center staff in developing the overall design of the center on-site counseling program.
