The Watershed Project’s Green Collar Corps (GCC) program provides paid job training and part-time employment for young adults (17-24 years old) in Richmond, San Pablo, and Oakland. The program’s goal is to support personal and professional growth for local young people, especially those who are underrepresented in the environmental field (such as Black, Indigenous, and other youth of color) and who cannot afford to take an unpaid internship opportunity. Created in 2009, our GCC program now employs 5-7 young adults annually, giving them the skills and experience they need to pursue environmental or other careers. Members work across all of TWP’s program areas with introductions to diverse environmental careers and hands-on experiences, in addition to educational trainings and team-building activities.
