The Environmental Conservation Corps (“ECC”) program serves the lowcountry region by performing home weatherization and energy upgrade retrofits, as well as performing environmental conservation projects in our community.
We recruit local young adults aged 17-25 who may be facing barriers to employment, inviting them to become “Corpsmembers” in our program. Corpsmembers serve in terms of 3 months (450 hours), 4 months (650 hours), 6 months (900 hours), or 12 months (1,700 hours).
Corpsmembers are compensated during their service with a stipend or living allowance and often receive an education award or scholarship upon completing their service. Additionally, Corps provide participants educational programming, mentoring, and access to career and personal counseling.
