The Environmental Conservation Corps (ECC) is an innovative and award-winning program accredited by The Corps Network.
Our Program
Our program engages young people as AmeriCorps service members in environmental conservation experiences that enhance community resilience, quality of life and sustainability in both protected places and urban environments within our Lowcountry region.
Our Projects
Our projects provide meaningful opportunities for young people to develop personally and professionally while being of service to their communities, the environment, and themselves.
Our Goal
Our goal is to create the next generation of conservation leaders in our region. The ECC offers AmeriCorps members an opportunity to learn in-demand conservation skills and earn certifications, to participate in and lead critically important conservation projects, and to become connected with conservation career opportunities.
